Detailing the pain and the suffering of the Holocaust, Gerda Weissmann Klein's autobiographicalAll But My Life, insights the gravity and the inhumanity of World War 2. Recalling the loses and the difficulty in accepting the fate of the people Klein knew, she uncovered another picture of a face who suffered in the Holocaust. Beginning with a nostalgic scene, Klein flashbacks in her book, the last memory of her complete family; Arthur, her brother, Mama and Papa. Furthermore, her brother is raptured by the German army, and she is separated from her parents, and never sees them again. Her friend, Isle, becomes the only comfort through the march to Czechoslovakia. Eventually, Klein loses everyone she knows, and is rescued by an American soldier Kurt Klein, who marries her. Throughout her book, Klein exerts a hope of freedom and tranquility, through the rough encounters of the holocaust.
I thought this book should be cherished, because it provided the a honest view of the suffering of real people.
Why would Gerda title her book, "All But My Life"?
