Biographie de l'auteur

The most defining moment of my life came at a very early age. At age 10, my mother, my older sister, Lea, and I were already behind the wall in the Ghetto. At 12, my sister and I were taken to Birkenau, a transitional camp where decisions were made, placing people either in labor camps, or transporting people to the gas chambers of Auschwitz for extermination.
