While we know about the concentration camps, we know little about the killings at Fort 7 and 9 in Kovno. Henny is an inspiration to us all. Because of her determination, she managed to survive and start a new life in America. This story reminds us of the horrors people do to each other. This is an excellent review of the happenings in the Kovno ghetto in Lithuania and the horrors the Lithuanians did to the Jews. This book was a heart-felt read a story of amazing survival and how brave and strong the Jews were in a world of hate and horrible times. I read these books of the Holocaust and still can not believe how what one human being can do to another. - Zena Hart I could not put this book down. It is a true heartbreaker a story of strength it is a side to the holocaust that I did not know. It really opens your eyes. - Maria This should be required reading in all schools. Our public schools are not teaching that the Holocaust occurred. Relating human experiences in the 1st person is one way to overcome this. - Hubert R.
