Here is what people are saying about the I Have Lived A Thousand Years: Growing Up In The Holocaust
5 Star Rating  "This book was fascinating!!"2010-03-09
- Reviewed By Becca Dillow from Martinsburg, WV USA
I was looking for a biography from the holocaust, I was not too sure of this one, however---it was great. It was very touching and has inspired me to read more on the subject. I cant wait to get the other books written by this author...
 
4 Star Rating  "Moving and to the point"2009-11-25
- Reviewed By Joanna Mechlinski from CT, USA
At the age of 13, the author - then called Elli Friedmann -- was taken to Auschwitz as part of the campaign to rid her native Hungary of Jews.

Young Elli enjoyed a relatively normal existence in 1944, worrying about capturing the attention of a boy she liked, or whether she would make the honor roll, when her entire life changed in a matter of weeks. First, the Jewish families in her tiny village were forced to leave their homes and move into a ghetto, where they remained for several weeks until transport to the labor camp was available. There, Elli and her mother Laura were separated from her aunt Serena and brother Bubbi, forced to work endless hours in extreme temperatures with little food, water or rest. Meanwhile, the family worried about the fate of Elli's father, who had been taken with other Jewish men from the ghetto shortly before their deportment.

The book, divided into short vignette-like chapters, details Elli's experiences in the camp -- meeting her other aunt and two cousins in such diminished circumstances, contrasting with the happy childhood summer she once spent in their large, boisterous household; watching others die horrific deaths at the hands of the Kapos; struggling to maintain a sense of dignity and girlishness amongst such ugliness and insanity; and more.

Despite having read a large number of other Holocaust memoirs, Bitton-Jackson's story still stands distinct. This young girl's story, full of plain-spoken facts, is guaranteed to make a lasting impression in readers' minds for years to come.
 
5 Star Rating  "Excellent Read"2009-11-24
- Reviewed By LUV2Read from Las Vegas, Nv United States
I could not put this book down. I will admit it was quite depressing at times as a "human being" that these terrible thing's took place and quite scary that something of this magnitude occured. The writing in this book is simple and straight foward. The descriptions (camps,food,clothing,injuries,emotions ect)written about in the book are very "real" to the reader. My heart goes out to the author and her family. There are no words to say how sorry I am to them for this terrible injustice. This book should be a must read in every school across the country. I will pass it on to my four children as such in my home so that they can read and remember "just how hard life can be."

5 Star Rating  "Amazing author - Livia Bitton-Jackson"2009-11-14
- Reviewed By Elenna from SD, CA
At the time of the Holocaust, Elli was a very young girl. The Nazi regime killed many of her family, imprisoned her and so many others in concentration camps, kept them on starvation rations, and worked people to death. Truly terrible and tragic! It was extremely brutal, senseless, and ruthless violence against Jews and others.

What amazed me wasn't so much her story, but it was her transcendence from victim to an educated, joyful, caring, generous, and still beautiful lady.
 
5 Star Rating  "Brilliant"2009-10-27
- Reviewed By Dick Stanley from Austin, TX, United States
This young-adult book is not the first Holocaust memoir I've read, but it is perhaps the most brilliant. Not an easy read, of course, none of them are. I had to put it down several times and go off and do something else to forestall an overdose of grief and anger.

Especially affecting is the fact that she was but thirteen when her family was shipped to Auschwitz. Only the infamous Dr. Mengele saved her from the gas, telling her to lie that she was sixteen, and only because his racist mind doted on her blond hair and blue-green eyes. He'd apparently never seen a Jew who looked Aryan.

All the pertinent details of the camps are revealed, slowly in dramatic fashion, the recreated scenes and dialogue becoming more historical fiction than a recitation of actual events. Her story of strength and survival in the face of so much cruelty and heartbreak is inspiring. Some of us really can survive almost anything. But, in the end, she was left with much pain to work through:

"My friends, my family, all those achingly dear to me, my entire world, rose up in smoke, vanished."

Her dedication is especially touching: "...to the children in Israel who, unsung and unacclaimed, risk their lives every day just by traveling to school...the only guarantee that a Holocaust will never happen again."
