This is one holocaust memoir which does not stop at survival but
goes on to describe the lasting effects upon those survivors of
their persecution, betrayal and suffering. Trude Levi was inspired
to set down her memories of her experiences as a young Hungarian
girl deported to Buchenwald to work like a slave in a munitions
factory. She says she had no sense of survival but was sustained by
a strong sense of self-respect and a stubborn refusal to
compromise. On her twenty-first birthday she collapsed from
exhaustion on an infamous Death March and was left lying where she
fell, not even worth a bullet. So, when the war ended shortly
afterwards, she had survived - just. Years of wandering, poverty
and hardship followed. Illness, disillusion and the insensitivity
of others too their toll, yet the author is able to describe her
experiences with directness and without self-pity. Her most fervent
wish in telling her story is that the lessons of the Holocaust are
never forgotten, and that the events she recorded are never allowed
to happen again.
