All but My Life Audiobook

" Compelling listen, excellently written, and superbly narrated. My parents lived through the holocaust and this book made me feel what my mother must have gone through. Grace Conlin does a superb rendition. Her voice is calm and controlled with the right touch of emotion so you believe that you are there through Gerda Weissmans eyes. I met and heard Gerda Weissmann, some time after she wrote this book, and although Mrs. Weissmann Klein has a mild European accent Grace Conlin manages to reflect her demeanor and outlook. I recommend it to everyone lest we forget. "

" All But My Life:A Memoir By Gerda Weissmann Klein This story really moved me. The author as a teenage was sent to the labor camps during WWII. Decisions were hard to make, she made the right one, keeping her alive. She always had a happy spirit with encouraged the young girls around her. She made up skits,stories and plays for a diversion. She endured loss of family and all the girls she knew where she was in the labor camps. She fell in love with the American soldier that helped rescure her and other when liberation came. She came to America with her soldier husband, raised a family and helped other Jews. "
