Eva was arrested by the Nazis on her fifteenth birthday and
sent to Auschwitz. Her survival depended on endless strokes of
luck, her own determination and the love and protection of her
mother Fritzi, who was deported with her.
When Auschwitz was liberated, Eva and Fritzi began the long
journey home. They searched desperately for Eva''s father and
brother, from whom they had been separated. The news came some
months later. Tragically, both men had been killed.
Before the war, in Amsterdam, Eva had become friendly with a
young girl called Anne Frank. Though their fates were very
different, Eva''s life was set to be entwined with her friend''s for
ever more, after her mother Fritzi married Anne''s father Otto Frank
in 1953.
This is a searingly honest account of how an ordinary person
survived the Holocaust. Eva''s memories and descriptions are
heartbreakingly clear, her account brings the horror as close as it
can possibly be.
But this is also an exploration of what happened next, of Eva''s
struggle to live with herself after the war and to continue the
work of her step-father Otto, ensuring that the legacy of Anne
Frank is never forgotten.
