Book Reviews of The Story of Blima: A Holocaust Survivor
Book Review: Small Book~Big Story and very moving.
Summary: 5 Stars
Having read hundreds of survivor stories I am always amazed that in each one there is something new I have never heard before. This little books packs a hug story. It is written as if Blima herslef is talking to you and telling the story but it is infact her daughter who wrote the book. It is so well done I didn't realize it until the end.
One event of that was so mean done in one of the camps Blima was in really shocked me. The Nazi guard would nightly come into the barracks and eat and apple. She would peel it and let the skin fall to the floor then her guard dog would get the core and the peel. Now consider these poor women and girls where starving to death...the sound of her eating a sweet crisp apple. I know a lot of horrid things happened but that was just one salt in the wound I had not heard before.
Blima is such a strong woman and I am so glad that she survived. I thank her daughter for getting her story into print so that we may never forget. I must read.
Summary of The Story of Blima: A Holocaust Survivor
In 1941, Blima Weisstuch was a young Jewish woman going about her life in a city in Poland.She paid no heed to the stories about a man named Adolf Hitler, his Nazi Party, and their plan for a world that did not include Jews.
But almost overnight her ordinary life was gone, replaced by a nightmare world of terror and death. Millions of people disappeared into the horror of the Holocaust. But Blima's story survives. It is told here by her daughter, Shirley Russak Wachtel.
