Critic reviews

"Soul-searching and human...A moving personal testament to courage." (The New York Times)
"...as sensitive and 'disturbing' a story as The Diary of Anne Frank." (Library Journal)

Very engaging work.

Another great story of survival and God's providence, inspite the evil of nazism and the Hitler regime!

Survival story

Makes me feel guilty for complaining about my own life. She’s my hero. God blessed her.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Heartbreakingly beautiful. An excellent read. So hard to put down. It is so hard to understand the brutality that Gerts
endured. An amazing young woman.

Courage and determination and faith

The bravery and positivity these women had and encouraged for themselves and others is incredible. Her story will be one I will reflect upon for a long while. Excellent listen

Near perfect,a download of a map would have been nice.One was left with the story of will. Reading was done very detached.The agony was not overplayed.It would be nice to know if she still had faith
