I purchased this book after meeting the author at her Holocaust museum in Indiana, January 2009. Her story blew me away. The survivor of experiments conducted on twins at Auschwitz-Birkenau? It doesn't get any more compelling than that! As I read her story, I was fascinated by the determination and will to survive of a nine-year-old Rumanian girl.
This beautiful little girl rose up from the ashes of the Holocaust, but she was far removed from the elderly survivor who told her story in the first person. Eva says that through more than 100 speeches and interviews she always felt like she was “looking down at this little girl and telling her story.” That all changed in late 1985, when at the age of 51, she was lecturing at Indiana State University. “I was describing my separation from my mother, and I began to sob and sob. I was very confused, troubled and embarrassed because I did not have a handkerchief. I had never needed one before. I cried because I could feel all the pain, fear and horror that I had felt at Auschwitz. I never again ended my lecture by saying that I was telling the story of that little girl. That little girl and I became one. I had suddenly found the child that had been lost at Auschwitz.” Read more on my blog @ http://wp.me/pCINY-7M
