Publisher : “From its opening pages, in which she recounts her own premature birth, triggered by terrifying rumors of an incipient pogrom,
Bernstein’ s tale is clearly not a typical memoir of the Holocaust. She was born into a large family in rural grew up feisty and willing to fight back physically against anti-Semitism from other schoolchildren. She defied her father’ s orders to turn down a scholarship that took her to Bucharest, and got herself expelled from that school when she responded to a priest/teacher’s vicious diatribe against the Jews by hurling a bottle of ink at a series of incidents that ranged from dramatic escapes to a year in a forced labor detachment, Sara ended up in Ravensbruck, a women’ s concentration camp, and managed to tells this story with style and power.” —
