This is an AMAZING book! Jan 26, 2008
By Anna Aboud As the Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 27th, 2007) comes upon us, I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to read this amazing book. This needs to be read by a wide audience. I've cried, I've laughed, I feel for this woman and the family she had to leave behind in Germany. I have fallen in love with her, her brother Gert, her parents, Kurt and her children... This is a story that, thankfully, was able to be told. I'm so glad her family is able to live not only in her memory, but now also forever as literature! This is a 5 star reading experience, and I want to badly to have everyone in the world read this!
Brings it to my heart Mar 23, 2011
By J. ROBB
"Reading/Listening in SF"
I read this on recommendation of someone who is also a Holocaust survivor. I was caught up in the story of Ms Mostny from the moment I read the first page. Reading the story of her family's flight from Berlin from the perspective of a child brings the events of the time to heart and a sense of how naive and pampered we are in our comfortable lives and all we take for granted in our daily lives. Thank you Ms Mostny for sharing your story.
One amazing book...I laughed, I cried... Oct 27, 2008
By Understander Conversations With My Grandchildren by Marion Mostny is a must-read for anyone whose relatives were from Eastern or Central Europe...to see through an eleven-year old girls eyes what it was like growing up in Nazi Germany, when your friends parents were suddenly told they could not practice medicine or had to turn over their business that they had successfully run for decades and now give it to the Nazi's...when you were told one day you couldn't come back to school just because you were Jewish...to leave one country and culture and arrive almost penniless in another totally-different country and culture, ie Germany to Chile...surviving and then thriving, learning new languages and new customs and then once-again being uprooted when the Mostny's and their five children emigrated to America, to start all over again...great book!
An interesting and inspirational read! Apr 29, 2008
By AmyM The author has led an amazing life and recounts many details in this memoir. This book will be treasured by her family and others for years to come.
All parents must read! Apr 24, 2008
By J. WALKER This was such a great story. Really makes you want to note all your memories so that they can be passed down each generation. Will be contacting grandparents and parents soon to urge them to start documenting. Everyone should have a book like this as a part of their family collection.
