Description
Pretty, carefree Aurelia Gamser (known nowadays as Ruth Gruener) had an idyllic life in 1930s Poland — until violent acts of anti-Semitism and the deportation of Jewish families to concentration camps changed the whole thing in her world. Hiding out with a gentile circle of relatives, her very life at risk on a daily basis, Ruth struggled to remain strong and sane. And though she used to be destined to live, her struggle continued after the war, when she started a new life in The united states, as a young person who had been through horrors. This memoir will inspire countless readers and bestow important lessons about life, hope, and memory.
