I was fortunate to hear her speak in Hollywood Florida this year (2009); at the Holocaust Memorial. She signed her book for me for which I am forever grateful. Her words are also in the Children Who Survived the Final Solution -edited by Peter Tarjan. Most of those former children live in the Miami Area.

Strictly as a writer she brings her experiences to life as much as that is possible...I am reminded of Pulitzer prize winners when i read her words. And too, her willingness to delve so deep into her own nightmare and share in such candor. I will probably buy more copies to share with my friends and family. Anyone would be touched...enriched...by reading this.

I hope that any one that relly like to understad a jurney of life has to read it... life will look in other color at the end of the book. Good for the soul

Ms.Glasberg has had the courage to dig and relive her unspeakably hellish past. She has performed an everlasting act of kindness by giving thousands of Jews murdered, some sort of dignity. So many of them whithout even a marking to attest that once, not long ago they were part of families and communities full of life. May their memories live forever. As a decendant of a family from the Jewish Community in Chernowitz this book has taught me much of what became of my extended family back then.

Unlike the other books where the concentration camps are well known and they are all the same story, this one is uniqe. Instead of gas chambers and crematoriums the people in Bershad were starved to death and near liberation, they were shot. even after liberation the book is exciting and heartbreaking. do not leave it sitting on the shelves.
