Through words, you see the vivid transformation of the once resort with colorful flowers, rivers and beaches and walking paths transforming into the catastrophic, hellacious concentration camp, Kaiserwald. The photographs are also contributors in the shattering memoir of a mother’s attempt from keeping her entire family from total extermination.

Over the next few years, Susie endured starvation, brutality, and forced labor in three concentration camps. With courage and ingenuity, Susie's mother helped her to survive--by disguising her as an adult, finding food to add to their scarce rations, and giving her the will to endure. This harrowing memoir portrays the best and worst of humanity in heartbreaking scenes that you will never forget.NOTES: Donated by Gary and Angie Springer. SUBTITLE: sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The narrative is matter-of-fact with no pretense at poetry or anything "literary" and direct without being graphic, and I think it would be good for middle school through adult readers. It's a pretty typical example of the Holocaust memoir genre, excepting that Susie and Raja were in some lesser-known camps, Kaiserwald and Stutthof. Recommended. ( )
