In 1941, Blima Weisstuch was a young Jewish woman going about her life in a city in Poland.

She paid no heed to the stories about a man named Adolf Hitler, his Nazi Party, and their plan for a world that did not include Jews.

But almost overnight her ordinary life was gone, replaced by a nightmare world of terror and death. Millions of people disappeared into the horror of the Holocaust. But Blima's story survives. It is told here by her daughter, Shirley Russak Wachtel.

Ginnette Hargreaves Review.

Ginnette`s Review

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is another very individual testimony of a lady who somehow survived the nightmare of being taken from her family. Just as she was returning from her work in her Aunts bakery.
Her crime? Tragically of being born a Jew. One of the many many, who was pulled from her life., Her home and family, everything dear to her

She survived as a semptress, initially taught by a sympathetic guard, of all people.
Eventually moved to a death camp, where the end of war meant survival. Just.

A testimony to the.human spirit remaining human and some kindness.
Each and every person so afflicted, has an individual testimony to tell.

Snatched by the Nazis

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 10, 2020

It seems incredible that a girl is snatched by men who were allowed to take anyone off the street and send them to death or a labour camp.
This is a wonderful account of life from the day the legal kidnapping occurred.
And among the sadistic guards was one good woman.
Blima and her Angel must never be forgotten.

A must read for younger readers.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a harrowing and yet remarkable account from a young teenager who far from enjoying her teens is instead fighting for survival and having to try and cope with her own changes. It is incredible what the human spirit can overcome. There was no self pity just a wonderment and questioning that other people could behave so cruelly towards a race. I think this book is a must read for younger readers .
