Seller's Description:
Very good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used books may not include companion materials, and may have some shelf wear or limited writing. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
A movie was made of this book; but as in many cases, the book is much better than the movie! I'm so glad Holocaust survivors are able to give a first-hand account of their experiences so we know what actually happened during this terrible time. May it never happen again!
