The Story of Blima
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
The Story of Blima: A Holocaust Survivor, by Shirley Russak Wachtel "The Story of Blima" is a very slim book, weighing in at 133 pages. But the subject matter is heavy, and while you'll likely read the book quickly, Blima and her story will stay in your mind for a while. The book takes place between the years of 1936 and 1947 and covers Blima's life before, during, and after the Holocaust. Captured off the street of her hometown by the Nazis, Blima is imprisoned in a forced labor camp for the majority of the war. The recollections of camp life are short but harrowing; instead the book mainly focuses on Blima's attempts to rebuild her life after being freed. The difficulty and tragedy of attempting to find surviving family members is heartbreaking to read. A note in the book says that "The Story of Blima" is taken from a larger work, "My Mother's Shoes", which I am now trying to find. The story and book are written by Blima's daughter. 4/5.
Very Inspirational
