Description

Ela Stein was once eleven years old in February of 1942 when she was once sent to the Terezin concentration camp with other Czech Jews. By the point she was once liberated in 1945, she was once fifteen. By some means all through those horrendous three-and-a-half years of sickness, terror, separation from loved ones, and loss, Ela managed to grow up. Even supposing conditions were wretched, Ela forged lifelong friendships with other girls from Room 28 of her barracks. Adults working with the children tried their best to keep up the youngest prisoners’ spirits. A children’s opera known as Brundibar was once even performed, and Ela was once chosen to play the pivotal role of the cat. Yet amidst all of this, the feared transports to death camps and death itself were part of day-to-day life. Full of sorrow, yet persistent in its belief that humans can triumph over evil; this peculiar memoir tells the story of an not possible coming of age.
