This seems to be quite a rare book, and I doubt if there will be too many further examples in the years to come. I don't mean to say that Holocaust testimonies are thin on the ground, for I've reviewed several on this site recently. I mean the fact that this is newly published and by an author who is still alive. There is something a little heart-warming to know that this lady was living and able to be interviewed by her translator in 2011, and presumably able to answer his editorial notes and queries. Of course, that fact does highlight the selling point of this book – the author was a very young girl when WWII started.
