Book excerpt: "A memoir such as Eva's compels us with its drama, the unflinching portrayal of humanity in its best and worst moments and, not least, the keen insights and deep commitments to which it has led its autobiographical heroine. Beyond the atrocity that was meted out to her in arbitrary fashion, beyond the good luck that helped her to survive, beyond the goodwill of those who rescued her and nursed her back to health, there lies still the life of the woman who has continued to grow and to give throughout the sixty years since she survived the dark night. This is the woman I have come to know and with whom I have been privileged to work, a woman whose embrace of life and its possibilities is all the more striking for the ease with which her persecutors would have thrown away her own." Dr. Peter A. Pettit, Director, Institute for Jewish-Christian Understanding, Muhlenberg College, Allentown, PA
