All but My Life

Summary: Another View of the Holocaust
Review: Having obtained a Bachelor's degree in Jewish Studies, I have read alot of Holocaust literature. This text stands out as perhaps the finest memoir I have ever read. It exposes a side of the Nazi work camps that I have not read alot about. Yes, it is graphic, but the humamity and courage of Gerda's life shine through. Having met Gerda in person, and attended a lecture of hers, she is in person just as she is in her memoir; a wonderful and shining soul. She embodies the meaning of strength.

Summary: This should be mandatory reading for all young people!
Review: Of all of the Holocaust survivor books, this one hits me the hardest, and has haunted me the longest. I have re-read this book eight times, and have given it to my 12 year old step-daughter now to read. It is emotional, heartbreaking, and really makes one question how humans could ever possibly hate each other. Gerda Weissman Klein is one of my greatest heros. This is a must-read book, and I believe it should become as notable as "The Diary of Anne Frank."

Summary: This book moved me to tears.
Review: I am an eighth grader reading this book for a holocaust book report. I felt it was such a wonderful book. The thoughts it brought to my mind were what if I was in her situation, what would I do. There was such detail and emotion. Engulfing you into her very own thoughts and feelings. The detailed stories made you feel closer and more there. I want to thank Mrs. Klein for telling her story and sharing it with the world.

Summary: One of the most moving books I have ever read!
Review: I want to thank Gerda for sharing her experiences in Nazi Germany. Her accounts are so horrific, but within it all I also felt her profound sense of hope and faith. In reading her memoir I was moved by the thought of what an incredible plan God had in store for Gerda. She survived to tell not only her story but that of so many Jews who lost there lives in WWII. Gerda, God is working through you to share with the world what Mankind is capable of.....ManKind, such an ironic word to use in that sentence, for Gerda saw very little kindness in most of Nazi Germany, yet she lights the precious moments of when kindness was shown to her and her friends. It is a book I shall never forget, and when I am feeling challenged in my own life, I will pick up Gerda's book and re-read, and re-read, for I know I have more to learn for this work. Thank-you Gerda! God Bless!

Summary: I loved the story
Review: I really loved the story and Mrs. Klein too although I don't mean that I wanted to hear that Jewish people were treated so cruel. Mrs. Klein told such a sad story that it made me cry. I've also seen the movie every time it come on. HBO.

Summary: This Book is so moving!
Review: All But My Life is the best Holocaust memoir I have read. It is a moving account of true heroism, and believing in yourself. If I ever came acoss a situation like Mrs Weissmann Klein did (God Forbid) I would hope I could face it with the amount of bravery she did.
