Aunt Celia teaches Laura and Elli everything she knows in the hopes that they can survive the camp. not the happiest place for a family reunion. This book is a memoir about the horrendous years the author and her family spent in these camps, surviving starvation, disease, and physical and emotional cruelty in Nazi Germany. Their identities are not revealed though Elli refers to them as "heroes." In the next chapter, a larger group is brought to the prison camp and Elli talks of these as revolutionaries who were attempting to set the Jewish prisoners free. It had been several years since the two had seen each other before being reunited in Auschwitz. Synopsis When the author was a teenager, the Germans invaded her country and forced thousands of Jews into concentration camps. For example, Elli tells about the appearance of a group of civilians who are apparently questioned, beaten and executed. This perspective is acceptable, considering that the story is a biographical account of Elli's life prior to, during and following her imprisonment as a Jewish girl during the Holocaust, but sometimes leaves questions unanswered. The reader knows only what is happening to Elli at any given point. The story is written in first person from a limited perspective.
