FRAGMENTS OF ISABELL

Laurel

On the morning of Isabella’s birthday in 1944, she and her family were deported to Auschwitz, the Nazi extermination camp.  There she and her siblings fought the greatest evil in human history with the only weapon they had: love.  Isabella’s Pulitzer-nominated memoir will take you into a world of darkness where she will reveal a humanity described in the voice of a poet.

New English Library

Saving the Fragments

YA The author of Fragments of Isabella (Crowell, 1978) continues her tale of concentration camp survival. Here, she and two of her sisters escape from the Death March from Auschwitz to Bergen-Belsen. Fragments of her memories of this liberation pepper the pages of this slim book, linked loosely together in chronological order. Just being free, even though still cold and hungry, was such an incredible experience that her mental happiness outweighed any of the physical discomforts that she and her sisters still faced. Whether Leitner was walking across Germany, riding a packed train to Odessa or sailing in a cargo * to America, readers can feel her continually pinching herself in disbelief of her new freedom. Her hatred of Mengele and Hitler is obvious, while her concern for missing family members becomes a continual sorrow. The upbeat style of her writing assures readers of her desire to put the past behind her and get on with her life. This is a book that will be in constant circulation.
