Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Almost 50 years now separate the children of today from the generation of Jewish children who perished in the Holocaust. Perhaps this is one factor that compelled two women, both now grandmothers, to record the painful years they spent as young girls in the death camps of Poland. Libraries probably will find more demand for Eva's Story , since Schloss is the posthumous stepsister of Anne Frank, whom she knew in Amsterdam. With her family she was able to rely on a network of Dutch Gentiles to hide her through the first years of World War II. On her 15th birthday, however, informers betrayed her, her mother, father, and sister. Deported to Auschwitz, she survived thanks to a combination of luck and the fierce love she and her mother shared. Graf, a Polish Jew, was a university student when the German invasion shattered her world. She survived the first years of the German occupation by fleeing to Soviet-occupied sections of Poland. But, like Schloss, her luck ran out. Her camp, Plaszow, equaled Auschwitz in terrors. Again, like Schloss, Graf relied upon the deep affection and support of her sisters to survive. Both books are recommended for their demonstration that courage, familial love, and an inner resistance still flourished even in the deepest horrors of the Holocaust.

Lighting a Single Candle: Eva's Story
4. März 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
They say it is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness and Eva's Story does just that. Out of the ashes of Auschwitz comes this remarkable testament to the healing power of love triumphing over hatred. Eva's family, like Anne Frank's, were German-speaking Jews who sought refuge in Amsterdam and went into hiding until they were betrayed and sent to Auschwitz in May, 1944. Eva and her mother, Fritzi, survived against incredible odds; her highly intelligent father, Erich, and talented brother, Heinz, did not, though their visual diaries -- the paintings they created while in hiding--did. Some of these are reproduced in the book and help the reader see the Holocaust from a different perspective than Anne Frank's writings. Eva and Fritzi's accessible and compelling narrative of their ordeal is rich with examples of how a mother's love for her daughter saved both their lives. For example, upon their arrival at the selection platform at Auschwitz, Fritzi told Eva to put on a heavy coat and hat which made her seem older than fifteen, saving her from the gas chamber. Eva's father had taught her never to succumb to fear, a principle that allowed her to find a way to save her mother when Fritzi, starving and sick, was selected for death. Today, Eva continues to fight against racial discrimination and persecution by touring Europe and America with the play, "And Then They Came For Me," based on her experiences and those of Ed Silverberg, Anne's first boyfriend. Highly recommended for teachers and students of literature of the Holocaust!

Eva's Lives On
14. Januar 2012
Format:Taschenbuch
Eva Geiringer and Anne Frank experienced many similar events in almost parallel lives up to the end of the war in 1945. Whilst they were friends, they were also very different characters. Some people hold an interposal view that Eva, who became Anne Frank's posthumous step sister, continued with a life that Anne could have had. But I cannot agree with that as it is too simplistic.
This is Eva Schloss's (nee Geiringer) autobiography. It is the next best thing to a diary written in private, but is no less honest or powerful for that. In fact, I wonder what Anne Frank's diary would have been like had she been able to live those extra three weeks until the Allies' liberation. Would it have been significantly different to this?
In the next 20 years or so, this generation will pass on, leaving us with no more new first-hand accounts of the Concentration Camps that played a central part in the Holocaust. So it is important to read these living experiences before they are all consigned to `history', as they could well be read in a different light. Fortunately this is not a sensationalist book that makes great claims or uncorroborated accusations. All of the incidents are credible and come from the author's own experiences. It is also a down to earth account of what actually happened to many people, seen from a young person's perspective, but written by an adult.
I can recommend this book, unless of course, you are a racist, Nazi or a holocaust denier. Then it is best to give this autobiography a wide berth and move on as there is little, if anything in it for you. However, for those readers who wish to know more, there is a play based on Eva's Story entitled `And Then They Came for Me'.

Amazing
5. Dezember 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
I really enjoyed this book. I picked it up for a school project, and didn't set it down until I was reading the epilogue. It is fabulously written, and very easy to relate to.
