Features: This is an autobiographical novel by Israeli female writer Lahayel Bernheim-Friedman. Through simple yet delicate prose, it depicts the tragic life of European Jews in the mid-20th century, particularly vividly revealing the history of Nazi atrocities against Jews through the author's own legendary experience of being sent to Auschwitz concentration camp during World War II and miraculously escaping death. Through these words, we seem to be able to see with our own eyes the barbed wire fences, gas chambers, and crematoria in the concentration camp, hear with our own ears the desperate cries of Jewish families who have lost their loved ones, and personally feel the chilling and horrifying atmosphere. This book is authorized by the Israeli Embassy in China and is the 12th translation in the world, having sparked enormous response globally.
