All But My Life (Abridged) Audiobook

" Excellent book but emotionally exhausting to read. Makes you incredibly grateful for what you have yet depressed over the evil that happens in this world. "

" I first read this book for my 9th grade English class, but have re-read it once a year since. Written by Gerda Klein, she gives you her first hand account of the Holocaust. Very moving and powerful. "

" The author survived the holocost as a young woman, and wrote her painful memoires in a way that really takes you into her life and times. This book will break and warm your heart by the last page. "

" She came to speak at my college, and it was very moving. I had forgotten that I read this book shortly after hearing her speak, but it was really good. "

" This book kept my attention but as a reader I wanted to know more than she told. I felt the story was vague. Towards the end I realized the reason for the vagueness was that the story was too hard to tell. To never really know what happened to your loved ones, to even know if they are dead or alive. Heart wrenching.. "

" Powerful book. I was truely an amazing story of what this woman went through at such a young age. She faced so many challenges and overcame them all. Fasinating! "

" Great book. Gerda makes amazing use of her English skills with this memoir. I laughed, I was in tears, and could almost feel like I was there with her during the entire story. Incredible author with an even more incredible story of strength. "

" I know this sounds cruel, but Gerda got off pretty well compared to some other memoirs I've read. "

" An amazing book following the life of young Gerda from the beginning of the war in her hometown in Poland through various work and concentration camps and her liberation after surviving a death march to Czechoslovakia. A must read. "

" Holocaust story- I cannot put them down. I havent mentioned all in here, because I have MANY. A good perspective "

" This is the best book I have ever read. I think everyone should read it. "

" Really great book. Well written and engaging subject matter: Holocaust from perspective of Polish Jewish teen/young woman. Nice complement to one of my favorites, The Hiding Place, memior of middle-aged, Dutch Christian woman. All But My Life is one of my new favorites. "

" This book was actually a required reading for my Advanced Comm Arts class, so I automatically didn't like it because I was forced to read it. I know that sounds stupid, but I wasn't that interested in the book. Sorry. "

" GREAT read. WOW do we have great lives living in freedom of America. This book made me appreciate all that I have. "

" This book is very sad. The fact that it is a memoir really increased the shock factor. Definitely recommend it to people who are curious about the Holocaust. "

" A "couldn't put it down" kind of read. She breaks down her story into four parts - life leading into occupation, work camp, death march and finally liberation. These are stories we need to know and remember. Her perspective on survival, happiness and hope for the future is inspiring. Loved it. "

" This book is amazing, I read it twice. This womens journey through such a horrific time in history will blow you away. It is a true testament to the human spirit...I loved this book!!! "

" Interesting. Very upsetting but uplifting at the same time. The story of a girl in the concentration camps in World War II. "

" Another story about the strength of the human spirit during WWII. "

" First-rate holocaust memoir from a young girl who suffered in a succession of labor camps, and especially during the death marches, before marrying her liberator. "

" I'm on about page 80. It's a short book. Unfortunately, I have not gotten over what happened to her brother back on page 5. "

" A really engrossing memoir about Klein's experiences during the Holocaust, including her deportation to labor camps and her ultimate liberation. Very moving and incredible story. "

" Such detailed sorrow. The horrors of the holocaust continue to break my heart! "

" I enjoyed this book much more than I thought I would. It was very humbling, and rather incredible. "

" I personally love true stories and this book just hit me in my soul i loved the book yet wanted to cry at the same time it was a very gripping story "

" How were they able to survive?....and how cruel people can be. "

" Through a series of miracles this teenage girl survives the death camps of WWII and lives to write a memoir about her experience. I am very thankful for the smallest of blessings. Amazing woman and a good author. "

" A great memoir. She did an excellent job writing this book. Another amazing story of the struggles they all went through. "

" Gerda Weissmann survived Nazi Germany living in work camps and concentration camps. An incredible story of a woman who refused to die. "

" Incredible book; gives a lot more details than the documentary. The strength of this woman is amazing. She just received the Medal of Freedom from Pres. Obama. "

" Heartbreaking to read about losing her family but a classic example of how the worst of tragedies can bring out the best of humanity. "

" I really liked the portrayal of the Holocaust in this story and the positive aspect to it. One of the better books about the Holocaust "
