About This Item
Prentice-Hall Books for Young Readers, 1986. Gift inscribed by author on free end page. Foxing on edges, otherwise in nice condition. From Publishers Weekly This account of one girl's Holocaust experience is rich for its interweaving of autobiography and historical data. At age six, Auerbacher was forced to wear the yellow star that set her apart. Then she was sent to the Terezin concentration camp in Czechoslovakia. Fifteen thousand children entered that camp, but only a hundred exited alive. And of more than 1000 people who arrived with Auerbacher, only 15 survived. It's a moving story supported by well-preserved wartime photographs and Bernbaum's harsh, spare drawings. The author's ability to survive is linked to her later capacity to translate hardship and tragedy into poetry of hope and perseverance. Her perspective, while chilling, pierces the heart with memorable imagery, such as envying the birds, which are free to fly away from the camp. Ages 11-up. Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. . Signed by Author. First Edition.. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by b/w Illustrations & Photos.
