Growing up in a time where one is the target a growing mass genocide - not a childhood anyone should experience. "The Ground Under My Feet" is the story of author Eva Kollisch and growing up as a survivor of one of the worst atrocities in history. In the form of anecdotes and essays, she tells all, reflecting on the past and making amends with those who once oppressed her and whom she considered enemies. A heartwarming and inspiring book, "The Ground Under my Feet" is highly recommended for community library Holocaust Studies collections.

This is a solitary dialogue between a fully realized self and its
tentative first incarnations as child, adolescent, and young adult.
You will be sitting while listening to the voices of the dialogue;
but occasionally you will feel the need to stand. For you will want
to honor not only the author who had the wisdom, courage and honesty
to reevaluate those who participated in earlier stages of her life,
but also those among her cast of characters for whom her voice built
an enduring monument.
