Hannelore is a gifted writer, whose voice can be heard on every page. She speaks clearly of what she experienced, and you trust every word. Her recall of the details of her life seems...well, remarkable.
Hannelore wanted all of us to understand why no person should ever forget that all people, no matter their differences from one another, are still people. And we people all have the same feelings and rights. When we forget that, we can do bad things to one another. Very bad things! She was a prisoner of people who chose to do monstrous things.
What makes this story stand out from other Holocaust memoirs is that she continues her story long after liberation. We follow as she rebuilds her life in America, happily married, content and thankful to be alive.
