Publishers Weekly
"Powerful. A heartbreaking and inspirational account of personal
triumph." New York Daily News
"A tale worth telling. . . . It picks up where Anne Frank's diary
ends." Jewish Telegraph
"High on the list of Holocaust reading." Michael Berenbaum
-- director of Sigi Ziering Institute, American Jewish
University
"Eva's story is a powerful memoir of a young Austrian girl whose
family found refuge -- or so they thought -- in Holland during
World War II. Like their more famous neighbors, the Franks, Eva's
family also went into hiding, though the Schloss family separated,
father and son, mother and daughter. Betrayed, they were captured
separately and sent to Birkenau, where they lived throughout 1944.
Mother and daughter endured all that one endured in Auschwitz. But
Eva's story includes the help that was given to them by fellow
prisoners and the sheer luck that it took to survive. It is a
poignant story so very well told and all the more interesting to
readers as Eva's story intersects with Anne Frank. The girls played
together as children, and after the war Eva's mother married Otto
Frank. Having both lost spouses and children, they found each other
and could remember the past together as they faced the future."
