I had only heard great thing about this autobiography, so I finally wrapped my self around it. Everything I heard was true. While I was reading this book, I cried tears of sadness, tears of joys, I gasped in shock, and laughed in relief. I hope everybody reads this book.
The main character, Garda, is my favorite character. She also intrigues me the most. While she was growing up as a young a Jewish girl, something terrible happened. World War II broke out. Gerda’s brother left to go fight in the army and soon enough her father was separated from Gerda and her mother. On the way to the concentration camp Gera was separated from her mother. From here on out, Gerda was alone.
Gerda is my favorite character because even though this was the hardest time in her life she pushed through it and lived. She makes it through the easier parts of the Holocaust and pushes herself until she reaches the end of the harder parts.
The scene that I found most difficult to read was the Death March at the end of the Holocaust. Reading about all the people that lost their lives when they were so close to surviving was gut wrenching. All I could think was“That was somebody’s child”.
All But my Life was an emotionally hard book to read. However, while reading this book I learned a lot and I realized how much I have to be great full for.
