Editorial Reviews

Review

“Laska, herself a Resistance activist ... has written several chapters about her own experiences; the remaining accounts are reprinted from a variety of sources, some of them translated from other languages by Laska. The two major sections deal with the Resistance and with concentration camp life; a shorter final section concerns re-entry into normal life by the survivors. Like all Holocaust memoirs, the narratives are dramatic but grisly reading.... For general readers as well as specialists.”–Library Journal
