Book synopsis

This is the truly remarkable tale of one woman's struggle for survival through the horrors of war. An account of one woman's exceptional resourcefulness and determination, this book uncovers some of the secrets of Jewish suffering and survival in the twentieth century. This book owes much to the wealth of documents on the Holocaust website: 150 million pages that were recently digitized and made accessible to researchers by the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. During that process, historian and author Fred Rosenbaum came across the records of Eva Libitsky, a Polish Jewish woman who survived more than 4 years in the Lodz ghetto, was tortured in Auschwitz, enslaved in the Oederan munitions factory, and quarantined in Theresienstadt during a typhus epidemic. This is her remarkable story of struggle, heartbreak, and ultimate survival, in her own words.
