Narration In Pursuance Of Books After Auschwitz

Eva was arrested by the Nazis on her fifteenth birthday and sent to Auschwitz. Her survival depended on endless strokes of luck, her own determination and the love and protection of her mother Fritzi, who was deported with her.

When Auschwitz was liberated, Eva and Fritzi began the long journey home. They searched desperately for Eva's father and brother, from whom they had been separated. The news came some months later. Tragically, both men had been killed.

Before the war, in Amsterdam, Eva had become friendly with a young girl called Anne Frank. Though their fates were very different, Eva's life was set to be entwined with her friend's for ever more, after her mother Fritzi married Anne's father Otto Frank in 1953.

This is a searingly honest account of how an ordinary person survived the Holocaust. Eva's memories and descriptions are heartbreakingly clear, her account brings the horror as close as it can possibly be.

But this is also an exploration of what happened next, of Eva's struggle to live with herself after the war and to continue the work of her step-father Otto, ensuring that the legacy of Anne Frank is never forgotten.

Criticize About Books After Auschwitz

"A few months ago I finished speaking, and looked down at a class of schoolchildren. A Somali girl with dark eyes hesitantly put her hand up and asked, 'Do you think it will happen again?' I can't answer that, but maybe you can. Will it? I hope not."In this short and direct conclusion, Eva Schloss sums up her life story with a single wish, never again. Schloss' book is gritty and painful to read, like any Holocaust memoir must be. However, this hope permeates through the darkness. Her hope for a

The Infinite Power of Hope6 millions of jews perished in the Holocaust!Eva Schloss survived!How did she do it?Hope? Luck? Miracles?...She said in an interview that if it wasn't for hope, she wouldn't be there sitting and talking to her interviewer.Not just hope -- she adds -- cos she was also blessed with some miracles!I believe those miracles were conquered by her determination to go on living -- they happened, to testify the infinite power of hope!...All in all, there's a great lesson in

Both sad and encouraging. I discovered this book at the Auschwitz-Birkenau bookstore in Poland. Eva's story and her tie to Anne Frank weave a personal connection to a story we know so well and one we did not. The juxtaposition of one girl living and one girl dying provides such a stark reminder of the toll WWII's atrocities took in the Jewish communities. We should all remember and choose compassion.

I saw this book in a local bookstore in my downtown area and expressed to my friend how I wanted to read it, and how interesting it looked, etc. What I didn't expect was that she would buy it for me for my birthday! So I was quite pleased and overwhelmed when I received it.As on the book itself, it was an insight on what life was like for people after the war, and what I found especially interesting was how we get a small glimpse into how Otto Frank was after the war. However, I especially liked

This book tells a haunting story. Im sure there are others out there, but I have never read a survivors story before. I had just finished her first book, Evas Story, immediately before reading this one, so the first half of the book was sort of repetitive, as she goes over her experience leading up do and during the Holocaust again. But starting halfway through the book there is new material and it is really interesting to hear a survivors perspective on the aftermath as well as life today.

Heartbreaking and incredibly sad, but so inspiring and important. Eva Schloss is a remarkable woman.

It's all about six degrees both for the author and me. I had a small connection with Eva Schloss's mother, who would have been Anne Frank's stepmother, had she lived. There used to be an elegant cafe in Swiss Cottage (view spoiler)[in London, near the Finchley Road Waitrose where I did my shopping. Always need a coffee after enduring the supermarket experience. (hide spoiler)] where there was a dinner-jacketed pianist tinkling the keys of a grand piano with pre-war dance music every afternoon.
