5.0 out of 5 stars Life after Auschwitz, May 5, 2007

By 

Gary Selikow (Great Kush) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Cat Called Adolf (The Library of Holocaust Testimonies) (Paperback)

Trude Levi (Nee Mosonyi) relates her life before Auschwitz as a young girl growing up in Szombathely, 'the most anti-semitic town in Hungary, going on to her experiences at school during therise of anti-Semitism in her hungary, the horrors of Auschwitz, how she survived after she collapsed from exhaustion, on a death march, after the Nazis decided she was 'not worth a bullet'.
she go's on to describe her life after the holocaust, as a refugee in France, and her marriage to the schizophrenic musician Stephan Deak, and her life in
Durban, Israel and finally London, with her son Ilan.
Levi describes her life in all these places, describing the locations with accurate descriptive skill.
She describes her years of loneliness, with her husband in sanatoria, and her difficulty in dealing with his insanity, her work as a teacher, a librarian and a mother, and her later trials and tribulations.
An interesting account, because it tells of the life of a holocaust survivor, after her liberation from the camps, and how she survived through the decades.
