Because of the time period the book couldn't help but be borderline dark. It was very interesting to read how she was able to survive in such a horrible time in history. However, when looking deeper into the story, our club decided we were confused a few times on just how some things could happen in the way they did under the circumstances. Still, a good read but not not an up-lifting read. If you smiles and happiness, choose another book.

Unusual and intriguing perspective of the holocaust, kept my interest, well written, a great example of non-fiction book.
