Summary: (from Amazon) All But My Life is the unforgettable story of Gerda Weissmann Klein's six-year ordeal as a victim of Nazi cruelty.

Rating: Excellent
Why I Like It: I wasn’t familiar with this much detail information of the Holocaust. So, it was very interesting, inspiring, informative, sad, heart wrenching, etc. It made me realize more that we certainly have very little to complain about & so much to be thankful for!
This autobiographical account of the Holocaust, All but My Life (1957), was adapted for the 1995 short film, One Survivor Remembers, which received an Academy Award and an Emmy Award, and was selected for the National Film Registry. I watched it on YouTube. Also very good!!
Other: listened to it on audio
