Reviews
"I never realized that there could be such suffering in the world, and that anyone could live through it." -- Excerpt from Edith's diary, July 1, 1945 "Truly moving...leaving one with great hope in humanity." -- The Times (London) " Edith's Story , the memoir of an Anne Frank who lived, reminds us of the old horror all the more effectively by not being a horror story. Evil and grief, without being scanted, are outshone by sweetness, freshness, and pluck." -- Roy Blount Jr. International praise for Edith's Story : "The most vivid evocation of the experience of Nazi Occupation I have ever read." -- The Independent (London) "It's impossible to get through this inspiring and great-hearted volume dry-eyed, or without admiration for people who so bravely persevere through unimaginable hardship and privation." -- The Washington Post "Velmans' candid portrayal of herself as a feisty, loving, sometimes self-absorbed teenager is thoroughly engaging and her story throws a new light on the plight of Jews who survived the war hidden in plain sight." -- Publishers Weekly " Edith's Story gives all the pain and pleasure of reading Anne Frank for the first time." -- Esther Freud "A significant Holocaust memoir... A valuable opportunity to see the situation just outside Anne's attic." -- Kirkus Reviews "A quiet, gripping narrative with the writer's hindsight and restrained commentary." -- ALA Booklist (starred review) "One of the best and most moving memoirs I have ever read." -- Ruth Rendell "The miracle of this story is not that Edith survived, but that she survived with her love of life intact." -- The Roanoke Times, "I never realized that there could be such suffering in the world, and that anyone could live through it." -- Excerpt from Edith's diary, July 1, 1945 "Truly moving...leaving one with great hope in humanity." --The Times(London) "Edith's Story, the memoir of an Anne Frank who lived, reminds us of the old horror all the more effectively by not being a horror story.
