We will only have the surviving victims of the Holocaust with us a short time longer. How important it is indeed as many as possible Should write Their Own personal stories. In the case of this book, Edith Hanh Beer Allows us to see her very normal life at first disrupted and then torn apart by the invasion of the Nazi's. We see what motivates her (saving her mother's life, staying near the man she loves) and how Both Those decisions lead her into difficulties in one case and Possibly into saving her own and her child's life in the other. We see the price one pays for concealing an identity so Carefully did the concealer does not really know who she is anymore. We see how one can live with a mate and play a role for survival, and how Those roles can turn around. It is an excellent and quick read, and I wish more of us would read thesis true stories to keep us from ever being in a horrible situation seeking ever again.
