Reseñas de la Crítica

"Soul-searching and human...A moving personal testament to courage." (The New York Times)
"...as sensitive and 'disturbing' a story as The Diary of Anne Frank." (Library Journal)

a must read

very moving and informative. Learned new things about the Holocaust that I had never heard before

Never forget

Excellent review of what really did happen. It is real. Our Oma will every once in a while speak of what she went through, but Opa, no way! At 6’5” inches tall, he was down to 85lbs when freed. How some people can question history, especially this horrific history is beyond me. Like how humans can do the atrocities made in history. Never forget. Gerda did a fantastic job in keeping the truth alive. Thank you Gerda Weissmann Klein💜

Speechless...

Everybody should read or listen this book... Never should we forget to those millions of innocent people who were slaughtered, never should we forget that those human beings only asked to live in peace... Thank you for this unforgettable book...

A hidden gem

I never heard of this book until I found it in the Audible Plus catalog. It’s a very touching story published in 1947. The author is quite honest in her portrayal of herself. There are a few selfish events she shared. However, for whatever reason this book touched me in a way I haven’t felt in a long time. Be prepared to cry. She has a very positive outlook and way of expressing herself.

I very much appreciated the Epilogue written in 1994. It was nice to hear about her life beyond the war/ immediate post-war time periods.


On a different note while the narrator did an excellent job, the sound quality was not. The volume fluctuated and I needed to crank the volume to hear it; then it would get loud again. I did not remove a star for it. Hopefully it’s an easy fix for the technicians.

I highly recommend this book.

Riveting Story

I couldn’t stop listening. It’s unusual to hear such a personal account of slavery and especially from a young female perspective.

No problem with narrator

I almost didn’t listen to this after reading the reviews. Some did not like the narrator, but I rather enjoyed her. Each person is different. Sad story but worth it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Heartbreakingly beautiful. An excellent read. So hard to put down. It is so hard to understand the brutality that Gerts
endured. An amazing young woman.

Courage and determination and faith

The bravery and positivity these women had and encouraged for themselves and others is incredible. Her story will be one I will reflect upon for a long while. Excellent listen

Very engaging work.

Another great story of survival and God's providence, inspite the evil of nazism and the Hitler regime!

Survival story

Makes me feel guilty for complaining about my own life. She’s my hero. God blessed her.
