 * Reviews:**

"Soul searching and human . . . A moving personal testament to courage."--Herbert Mitgang, //The New York Times//

"An unforgettable reading experience . . . //All But My Life// is one of the most beautifully written human documents I have ever read. In this respect it is as sensitive and 'disturbing' a story as is //The Diary of Anne Frank//."--//Library Journal//

"Gerda Weissmann Klein moves you, and not just because the story she can tell is so horrific. It is the passion with which she looked through the horror and found a heart-felt and basic goodness in humanity . . . //All But My Life// is filled with wonderful acts of decency and normalcy, even as she describes three years in labor camps and three months of a forced winter march from Germany to Czechoslovakia."--Royal Ford, //The Boston Globe//

"Soul-searching and human . . . A moving personal testament to courage." -- //Herbert Mitgang, The New York Times//
