Livia E. Bitton Jackson: Elli, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

From her small, sunny hometown between the beautiful Carpathian Mountains and the blue Danube River, Elli Friedmann was taken - at a time when most girls are growing up, having boyfriends and embarking upon the adventure of life - and thrown into the murderous hell of Hitler's Final Solution.
When Elli emerged from Auschwitz and Dachau just over a year later, she was fourteen. She looked like a sixty year old.
This account of horrifyingly brutal inhumanity - and dogged survival - is Elli's true story.
"How can one critic tell you that amidst the glut of books being produced these days, amidst the wave of books by Holocaust survivors, there is one book, this one, which overshadows all but a few."

WEST COAST REVIEW OF BOOKS
"Breathtaking lucidity... 'Elli' is destined to join the classics of Holocaust literature."
