This was a very moving book. I cannot begin to imagine the struggles of people who went through the Holocaust, especially as one of the targets of the Nazi regime. I also cannot imagine the post traumatic stress that the survivors undoubtedly had. The author says that she trained herself to remember her experiences, which we are reading here. Her brain tried to reduce her trauma and stress by blocking out certain things, which is terrifying to even consider. This is why it is so important that we take these accounts seriously and take them to heart to prevent other people from ever going through such things.
