I can’t do justice to this book with a review. It is one of the most moving stories I’ve ever read from a Holocaust survivor.

Michael Frank interviewed Stella for 6 years on Saturdays to learn her history from the beginning on the Greek island of Rhodes to the horror of Auschwitz and Dachu to her immigration to America.

At the time of publication in 2022 she was 98 years old. I found a YouTube video from 2024 where she was awarded the Pomegranate Lifetime Achievement Award at 100.

Her story is one to take in a few chapters at a time and then reflect. If you aren’t moved by the horrors experienced and the trials and tribulations she experienced the rest of her life (still alive today I believe) then you have no heart and zero empathy and/or sympathy.

I shared two of my favorite quotes from Stella Levi. Basically accept each other and love each other. We are all human.
