Sara Tuvel Berenstein's powerful memoir of survival during the most traumatic time of Jewish history
Sara Tuvel Bernstein Books
This well-told memoir by the late Bernstein deserves a prominent place in the archive of Holocaust survival stories. Born into a large Jewish Romanian family, Bernstein (1918-83) left her mountain village at the age of 13 to attend gymnasium in Bucharest. Her independent spirit drove her to leave the anti-Semitic school and become an apprentice dressmaker rather than return home.
