Thank you for the ARC for this book. I enjoy anything WW2 related, this book though was hard for me to get through. The story is good but it feels kind of all over the place for me.

Special thanks to NetGalley for the advanced reader copy of this book. I truly do believe that every Holocaust story should be told, but this one really missed for me. It was all over the place and lacked any sort of depth. It was really poorly written as well and had and lacked feeling. This one was not good.

interesting nonfiction which was definitely a worth it read, but at times felt a little disconnected, which, i mean of course this was the Holocaust, but.. doesn't make it the best read.

The bulk of the story deserved to be told. Every Holocaust story needs to be told. Unfortunately, the story was vague and not a lot of content. The author seemed a bit detached from the whole thing. (Of course, who could blame her? She wrote it right after the war!) The intro was long winded and the end with the grandchildren writing about their grandmother just seemed like filler. While the story is important to know, it would be better off as a short story/newspaper article.

Auschwitz - A Mother's Story by Rosa Winter De Levy is an enthralling account of Rosa's about living through hiding from Nazis, being captured and sent to Auschwitz and ultimately surviving the horror she and millions of others endured.

Rose, her husband her daughter were hiding when they were captured and sent to Auschwitz. She recounts her story in the months after her release and how the thought of reuniting with her family, and specifically her daughter gave her the strength to pull through.

It seems like both a minute and then an eternity has passed since World War II and the atrocities that occurred. Most of the survivors and people who lived through this time are gone now and we owe it to this generation and future generations to read their accounts so that this can never happen to anyone else.

It never gets easier to read about what these poor people went through, but we owe them all so much and to listen/read their stories to teach future generations of such evil is imperative.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. I'm honored to give my honest review of it.
