Opis

This is a memoir of a Holocaust survivor, Anda Meisels Rosen. In 1939 when the Germans invaded Poland, she was 7 years old and lived with her family in Sambor, formerly Eastern Poland. She was 12 when she was liberated by the Russian Army. Out of 9000 Jews who had lived in pr-war Sambor she was one of fewer than 100 survivors. This a personal story of survival as seen through the eyes of a young girl and about her subsequent adjustment to a "normal" life as a "legitimate" human being, who finally has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit to happiness. She does not take her liberty and her life for granted. She is grateful yet vigilant. She speaks to new generations: love life and above all, learn from the past.
