All But My Life by Gerda Weissmann Klein

5.0

What a powerful, heartbreaking story. Gerda Weissmann Klein's memoir of her life under Nazi occupation is frightening and gut wrenching, but at times uplifting. She doesn't fail to include those who made kind gestures throughout her life, some that she attributes to her survival. In the Epilogue, she discusses her move to Buffalo, NY (just an hour away from where I grew up) and her later move to Arizona (where I reside now) and I was shocked I'd never heard her story. She is easily one of the Holocaust stories that should be revered as Anne Frank's.

I highly recommend this to anyone interested in history or the Holocaust.
