- Used Book in Good Condition
In this memoir, Helen Farkas shares her terrifying and painful story with moving honesty and simplicity. A witness to the rise of anti-Semitism and the Nazi occupation of Hungary, she recounts her familyâ€™s deportation to a local ghetto, and ultimately the horrifying reality of the infamous death camp Auschwitz. She describes her terrible losses, the death march they endured, and her daring escape. It is a story of an ordinary woman surviving extraordinary circumstances. Despite the horrors, it is also a love story, as Helen is reunited with her prewar fiancÃ© and together they seek a better life in America. This book is an inspiring testament to human resilience and the authorâ€™s strength and ultimate triumph will stay with the reader. In her Epilogue, Farkas offers us perspective on our lives when she tells us, â€œWhen I awake every morning, I realize that I am grateful just to be alive and see the shining sun.â€ â€œWith this small book, Helen Farkas makes a significant contribution to all of society. By understatement, she makes real the enormous suffering, terror, and tragedy she witnessed as a young woman caught in the vicious Nazi plan. She challenges all of us to accept responsibility for the policies and actions of our government.â€ - Tom Lantos, former US Congressman
