Description Gisella Perl\'s memoir is the extraordinarily candid account of women\'s extreme efforts to survive Auschwitz.
It is also the first memoir by a woman Holocaust survivor and establis.
Perl accomplished this by representing her life before imprisonment, in Auschwitz and other camps, and in the struggle to remake her life.
With writing as powerful as that of Charlotte Delbo and Ruth Kluger, her story individualizes and therefore humanizes a victim of mass dehumanization.
