'Among the most moving documents I have read in years ... You will not forget it' Elie Wiesel From her small; sunny hometown between the beautiful Carpathian Mountains and the blue Danube River; Elli Friedmann was taken - at a time when most girls are growing up; having boyfriends and embarking upon the adventure of life - and thrown into the murderous hell of Hitler's Final Solution.

This account of horrifyingly brutal inhumanity - and dogged survival - is Elli's true story.
