I could not have endured such abject cruelty and revealed my story of survival with such kindness. Today I had the astonishing joy of meeting Judith again after 30 years. She is frail but that great spirit shines through her eyes as it does through "Ike"s. What treasures they are! The gold stars above reflect the Gold Stars of Auschwitz; the gold stars of her remarkable soul; this seed of Sarah. Buy this book for yourself and for your grandchildren.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
