She recounts what it was like to exist there as one of the few teenage inmates and the tiny but miraculous twists of fate that helped her survive against the odds.
But worse was to come in Auschwitz concentration camp. She tells what it was like to be suddenly forbidden to attend school, talk to neighbors, to forcibly leave home and move to a ghetto, lose all privacy and almost starve. It describes, in intimate and excruciating detail, how her world was shattered by their arrival. This is the memoir of Elli Friedmann who was thirteen years old in March 1944 when the Nazis invaded Hungary.
