Reply to comment by 2plus2equalscats in Gerda Weissman Klein was one of only 120 survivors of a 350 mile Death March during the Holocaust; it began with over 4,000 people. In this clip she tells of the last time she ever saw her father, and credits her survival to the intuitive last words he spoke to her. by asday515

It's short and intense. It's one of my all time favorite books. It's incredibly vivid and blunt in its brutality. Seen through the eyes of a child and told by the young adult who has to deal with that story. I couldn't stop reading it.

Half way through and it’s great so far. Definitely intense, but very interesting. Thanks again for mentioning. I keep having to put it down for tasks but don’t want to.
