To anyone who wants to feel inspired.

Anyone who wants to feel proud of being human must read this account by a noble and corageous woman, the worthy child of a noble and corageous father.

I could not put the book down once I opened it.

It was incedible to live through, in impeccable detail, the life of one who survived the camps of Joseph Stalin. Despite the murder of her husband and the seperation from her children because she was a supporter of Trotsky she maintained her dignity and her faith in humanity. Many have suffered less and surrendered more of their soul to their persecutors. Her recollections of the events are told as if they happened last week. If there is to be evidence that there is hope for human progress and a brighter socialist future for mankind out of the ashes of the suffering and intolerance of this past century, this woman is the human embodiment, the evidence, upon which such hope rests.
