In this moving novel a true story is told of a woman that opens up about her life. Millie Werber held many secrets close to her heart. Her memoir tells her story from living in the ghetto to being in a concentration camp to trying to pick up the pieces of her life after liberation, and immigrating to America. Through it all her life was shaped by the two rings she held dear.

Millie Werber ha quattordici anni quando i nazisti invadono la Polonia. La sua cittadina, Radom, viene trasformata in un Ghetto e la fabbrica locale in un campo di concentramento. L'unico modo per avere salva la vita è lavorare come operaia per i tedeschi. Ma persino nell'orrore di un lager si può trovare l'amore: proprio qui, infatti, la ragazza conosce Heniek, ebreo costretto a collaborare con le ss. l due si scambiano le fedi e una promessa d'amore eterno. li loro matrimonio, però, dura ben poco: Heniek viene tradito da un altro ebreo e fucilato dai nazisti. A Millie non resta che farsi forza e lottare a ogni costo per sopravvivere e per affrontare l'orrore di Auschwitz. Anni dopo, reduce dal lager e dalla terribile marcia della morte, per la Werber arriverà il momento di rifarsi una vita in America accanto a un altro uomo, il secondo marito, Jack. Eppure il ricordo di Heniek-- il primo, grande amore l'accompagnerà per sempre, proprio come l'anello che lui le aveva donato nel ghetto di Radom. La straordinaria vicenda di questa coraggiosa sopravvissuta ci racconta nei dettagli cosa significava vivere nella Polonia occupata dai nazisti e come si possa trovare l'amore vero persino nell'inferno dell'Olocausto.… (plus d'informations)

This is a very beautifully written story about a woman who survives World War II as a 17-year-old Jew. It spans her entire life. I'm always fascinated with experiences dealing with World War II and this is another one that tells of the horrors endured and how one survivor made it through and found love.

Absolutely wonderful book. Millie tells her story so eloquently. She adds small side stories to the bigger picture being presented and some of those are quite eye opening and heart wrenching; ie: the wagons on the long walk and the wooden shoes. Both of these for some reason stick with me. It is also interesting to hear how "family" treated her after the war. Just another point of humiliation where there should have been love and understanding. The story of Heneik seems to be at the heart of the book, but there is so much more to it.: More that paints a vivid picture of the live of Millie Werber. A must read for those interested in Holocaust studies as there are so many small nuances covered that have been missed in previous memoirs.… (plus d'informations)
