It is a book about the author's life as a Jewish resistance fighter and concentration camp survivor in Nazi-occupied Netherlands. The book details her experiences and the importance of remembering the atrocities of the Holocaust.
I didn't think the book was going to be important. I didn't think the book was going to be top of the booksellers list.
I was very pleased when it was going to be published, but never in my life thought that it was going to be so much read, you know?
I think the reason everybody should read the book and I think the reason so many people have read the book is because not only have you lived an unbelievable life through one of the most unbelievable and horrific times, but what you're teaching people about life beyond that is so important.
I've written the book also in commemoration of all those people who were resistance fighters and lost their lives, helping other people to stay alive.
