Publisher Description
Includes 204 photos, plans and maps illustrating The Holocaust
Despite the Nazi oppression of all Jews in the lands under their control, Judith Sternberg Newman and her family were hugely fortunate to have managed get permission to settle in Paraguay in 1940. However their escape was blocked by the German authorities who refused to provide an exit visa, from that moment on, as the author notes, “fate turned against us”. As the author relates in these horrific memoirs are the torments, brutality and death at Auschwitz; the treatment that left here by the end of the war as the only surviving member of her family. She emigrated to America in 1947 where she was able to practise at her chosen profession in nursing and raise a family.

Must Read
A haunting detail of the horrors of the holocaust that everyone must read such that these atrocities never occurred again!
Five stars!!!!! Excellent book!! Could not stop reading!!
This book is absolutely astonishing!! I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know as much true information about the holocaust as possible. It is to the point, shocking, graphic, but also has you wanting to know more and more as you read each page!! It also is filled with 100 pictures.
Great personal account
If you want to learn about the Holocaust from a personal perspective this is the perfect book. I’ve read several as I like personal accounts of history rather than simply stated facts or outsider views. This book doesn’t sugar coat but tells you plainly what experiences were. As a nurse Judith has a larger view of things that went on beyond her own personal experience. My 7th grader is about to learn the same history, it’s the same age I was when 1st read this book. Having just read it again, I’m not sure I want her learning of such monstrosities quite yet. So my advice would be to read it yourself before having your kids read it.
