The Girl Who Survived: A True Story Of The Holocaust (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
This true story, told by one of the youngest survivors of Auschwitz, is of course amazing. The way it was told, however, possessed a very distinct disconnect from emotion. Staccato. Clipped. Just getting it on the pages. I imagine this is as difficult a task as any when telling one's personal horrors. Being a super-quick afternoon read, though, it gives yet one more individual's story of the Holocaust. The Girl Who Survived : By: Bronia Brandman and Carol BiermanThis book is nonfiction and is 91 pages longI started this book on October 13 and finished it on October 22In this book the author tell about her childhood as a little Jewish girl who was lucky enough to have a big house, but then her family is taken from her and all the other kids turn to her when they need food because she can pass as a German girl. It also talks about how she escaped the gas chambers but left her sisters to die and how she survived it all. I thought this book was ok it told an incredible story but the way it was written it made the whole experience seem really boring. I also did not like how she left her two little sisters in the gas chambers and how she did nothing while her sister died. I think she should have at least helped her family because even though that would probably cost her, her life there is no life worth living if it isn’t shared by the ones you love.
