Format:Mass Market Paperback
I've read eva's story and I was moved to tears on more than one occasion during the reading of it. I was frightened with her and when she described her first senses of liberation I felt elated with her yet scared at the same time. I'm 17 roughly about the same age as she was back then and I find it terrible to think about what teenagers went through during the holocaust, It is a moving book which I think everyone who is stdying the holocaust should read.

When i picked up this book i was totally unprepared for the mindblowing accounts she maks of her life at Aushwitz. You can feel nothing but admiration to see and feel her bravery and determination to survive. her descriptions really opened my eyes to the atrocites suffered by so many, a book which MUST be read - she deserves it.

I first found out about this book when my year six teacher was reading it to us in our English lesons. When she had finished reading us this moving story, she told us that she knew Eva and that Eva was coming to meet us to answer our questions! Everyone was so excited because we where all moved by her story. We met her and asked her questions about what was it like not being able to eat a full meal after coming out of the camp. She was one of the nicest woman we met and where really excited when we found out she would be joining us on our year six trip to Holland! We went on a trip to the Anne Frank house and we all felt her pain when we found her Father's name in the book of names of the people that had been killed in the camps. Parts of the story that me and my fellow classmates loved in the story was how her mother had to be marched away but fell pretending to die of exaustion. The guards did not shoot her and she managed to get back to Eva, who was only 14 at the time! I know this review did not tell you much about the book, but hopefully it has told you a tiny bit about the fabulous woman who wrote this sad but triumphant in the end book. I know that many people won't get the chance to meet her, but this book, get's you as close as you need to go! It's one of the best!

Really moving
This book is, possibly, more moving than Anne Frank's diary. It describes the conditions in concentration camps vividly, and makes it stick in your mind. Read more

A wonderful follow up to The Diary of Anne Frank
I went searching high and low for this book and finally found it in London. The expedition was well worth it. I had read The Diary of Anne Frank about 2 years before this book. Read more
