I have just finished reading this book. I have no words to describe it. I felt like that I was trapped inside that bunker. Their emotions felt like mine. Simply written yet so effective.

I love the book too much not only because I am interested in History. I feel I am very blessed to read this book. It inspired me a lot to think more about my religion and how family and friends show love to each other while we always say, “I love you, dad, mum, sister and brother.” It draws me closer to what LOVE really means and what we can do the furthest to express love to those I claim I love them. A GREAT book! Tahnks Clara.

I finished this book last night–finishing it in just days. I tried to imagine even hiding in my own basement, but I couldn’t even picture going through Clara’s experience. She writes so vividly about the cold, the heat, the hunger, the worry. What a strong woman she is. The Becks are certainly sitting with God. Amazing story–please read.

i read this book for a high school enlish project and after reading this book it gives me hope and reminds me never to give up i relly related to this book becasue i am the age that she is in the book and i compare everything that she went through to my life and i am very gratful and thankful that i have never had to go through anything that she or any other people in the holocaust had to go through. clara has such a story to tell and i recomend this book to anyone who wants to hear her story. another great memoir is NIGHT by elie wiesel it tells of a jewish teenager and his survival in the concentration camp Auschwitz.

I know this post is over a month old, but I had to comment about this book. It is gripping, depressing, inspiring and makes me so incredibly thankful for the life in which we are all blessed to lead here in our country.

I am so appreciative of your recommendations here at 5 Min. for Books. I write down your selections and work my way through. Thank you!!!

Wow, I have to add this one to my list of books to read this year. I have a real fascination for these types of stories, its just amazing how cruel some humans can be and just how strong and resilient others can be.
