The harrowing story of the author's six-year ordeal, from her prosperous middle-class family home in Poland, through her enslavement by the Nazis regime, to her liberation by American troops.

First edition of the author's "moving personal testament to courage" memoir. Octavo, original cloth, frontispiece. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Thomas Kaufman with thanks for your work in this whole course! All my good wished Gerda W. Klein Apr. 1962." With a letter from Ms. Klein's assistant stating that this has been sent to the recipient at the request of M. Weissman Klein. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket design by Leo Manso. All But My Life is the unforgettable story of Gerda Weissmann Klein's six-year ordeal as a victim of Nazi cruelty. From her comfortable home in Bielitz (present-day Bielsko) in Poland to her miraculous survival and her liberation by American troops--including the man who was to become her husband--in Volary, Czechoslovakia, in 1945, Gerda takes the reader on a terrifying journey. Gerda's serene and idyllic childhood is shattered when Nazis march into Poland on September 3, 1939. Although the Weissmanns were permitted to live for a while in the basement of their home, they were eventually separated and sent to German labor camps. Over the next few years Gerda experienced the slow, inexorable stripping away of "all but her life." By the end of the war she had lost her parents, brother, home, possessions, and community; even the dear friends she made in the labor camps, with whom she had shared so many hardships, were dead. Despite her horrifying experiences, Klein conveys great strength of spirit and faith in humanity. In the darkness of the camps, Gerda and her young friends manage to create a community of friendship and love. Although stripped of the essence of life, they were able to survive the barbarity of their captors. Gerda's beautifully written story gives an invaluable message to everyone. It introduces them to last century's terrible history of devastation and prejudice, yet offers them hope that the effects of hatred can be overcome. âAn 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).
