    Special woman, a special book

    This story is so many things. This author tells this story beautifully. The scenes she describes, her family that you meet and the horrors of the events are stunning, poignant and impactful. It is an amazing read written by a very special , gifted woman. The story and the author stays with you.

    All But My Life

    Having listened to the author featured on the cover of our high school history book, The Americans, I wanted to read her autobiography. A gripping story of being forced from her home and separated from her family by the Nazis, the book left me with the image of Gerda in the ski boots crucial to her survival holding her dying best friend in her arms as the girl forced a promise from Gerda to hold on for one more week. Not only a survival story, but a love story, Gerda Weissman's writing grips the reader. Since reading it, I have purchased many copies and passed it to students, strong and weak readers alike, who read it in awe.

    Good reading!

    As I am reading and learning more about the Holocaust, this is a very good book to read. It is compelling and is not easy to forget the experiences the author went through, as a survivor. I would recommend this book wholeheartedly.

    Jewish girl survives the war.

    This book is the story of a teenage Jewish girl enslaved by the Nazis, her survival and finding happiness in later life. It is excellently written and very informative.

    This book is a true, moving account of a young girl's life during the holocaust. The author has a gift in her ability to take the reader on her courageous journey of survival. I will highly recommend this book. It is very well written. A very touching and inspiring testimony that I will never forget.
