NO OF PAGES: 246 SUB CAT I: Holocaust SUB CAT II: SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: Susie Weksler was only eight when Hitler's forces invaded her Lithuanian city of Vilnius. Over the next few years, Susie endured starvation, brutality, and forced labor in three concentration camps. With courage and ingenuity, Susie's mother helped her to survive--by disguising her as an adult, finding food to add to their scarce rations, and giving her the will to endure. This harrowing memoir portrays the best and worst of humanity in heartbreaking scenes that you will never forget.NOTES: Donated by Gary and Angie Springer.

The narrative is matter-of-fact with no pretense at poetry or anything "literary" and direct without being graphic, and I think it would be good for middle school through adult readers. It's a pretty typical example of the Holocaust memoir genre, excepting that Susie and Raja were in some lesser-known camps, Kaiserwald and Stutthof. Recommended. ( )
