- More about I Have Lived a Thousand Years: Growing Up in the Holocaust
A Holocaust survivor recalls the terrible upheaval her family faced under Nazi occupation in this remarkable memoir that presents a story of cruelty and suffering, but also of hope, faith, perseverance, and love.
What is death all about? What is life all about?
So wonders thirteen-year-old Elli Friedmann as she fights for her life in a Nazi concentration camp. It wasnt long ago that Elli led a normal life that included family, friends, school, and thoughts about boys. A life in which Elli could daydream for hours that she was a beautiful and elegant celebrated poet.
But these adolescent daydreams quickly darken in March 1944, when the Nazis invade Hungary. First Elli can no longer attend school, have possessions, or talk to her neighbors. Then she and her family are forced to leave their house behind to move into a crowded ghetto, where privacy becomes a luxury of the past and food becomes a scarcity.
Her strong will and faith allow Elli to manage and adjust, but what she doesnt know is that this is only the beginning. The worst is yet to come
