All But My Life

De: Gerda Weissmann Klein

Narrado por: Gerda Weissmann Klein - introduction, Barbara Rosenblat

A classic of Holocaust literature, Gerda Weissmann Klein's memoir tells the moving story of a young woman's experience as a slave laborer for the Nazis and her miraculous liberation. Gerda was 18 years old when she was taken from her home in Poland and imprisoned for 3 years in a series of German work camps. Meanwhile, her parents died in the ovens of Auschwitz and her brother perished in the interior of Poland. Gerda now lives in Arizona with her husband, Kurt Klein, who helped liberate Gerda from Volary, Czechoslovakia, on May 7, 1945. This moving memoir was the inspiration for the Academy Award-winning documentary One Survivor Remembers.©1957 Gerda Weissmann Klein (P)1997 FSG, Penguin U.S.A.

Winner of Publishers Weekly Listen Up Award: Best Audio of 1997, Memoir/Biography/Autobiography.

Life changing

I stumbled upon this book title by accident- funny enough on TikTok. Once I started, I could not stop. This was an amazing story of determination, and grit. Thank you to Gerda for helping tell the stories of these girls and people. They will never be forgotten. I have so much love for this book.

One of the best. Holocaust books

Such tragedy at a young age. What inner strength Greta had such kindness to others Highly recommend. She spared us a lot of horrible details which other book will give.

Wonderful story, beautifully read

The only reason for getting this book was because Barbara Rosenblat was the Narrator. I extremely enjoyed The Nazis officers wife which Rosenblat had also narrated. They way she brings these characters to life makes me feels as though I am right there witnessing what was happening. I can't wait to find my next book that she has done.

Powerful

Very moving story of Gerda’s survival through devastating war, her courageous journey and the power of hope.

Excellent

What an amazing story and what an amazing woman. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.

Great audio book

Very moving story about a young girls experience during the Holocaust through her own eyes.

A must read

One of the best, most heartbreaking written stories from the Holocaust, on such a personal level. Cried so many times for the faith in humanity that was lost and the tortures endured by so many beautiful people. Gerda truly amazes me; her strength, intuition, and determination in the face of adversary is remarkable. Read/listen to this book no matter what you do!

The descriptions of the people in her life

I’m so glad the author remembered so may details of her life and was able to communicate them so effectively

Heart-wrenching

I can't even count how many times I cried from this woman's strength and story.

Couldn't stop reading/ listening to it

What an amazing book! I could not stop reading or listening to it! She was so brave! I recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about the different types of concentration camps in WW2
