Elli ‘Among the most moving documents I have read in years … You will not forget it’ Elie Wiesel

From her small, sunny hometown between the beautiful Carpathian Mountains and the blue Danube River, Elli Friedmann was taken at a time when most girls are growing up, having boyfriends, and embarking upon the adventure of life, and thrown into the murderous hell of Hitler's Final Solution.

When Elli emerged from Auschwitz and Dachau just over a year later, she was fourteen. She looked like a sixty-year-old.

This account of horrifyingly brutal inhumanity—and dogged survival—is Elli's true story.
