This is a testimony of intricate detail that describes a young girl''s survival in ghettos and concentration camps between 1942 and 1945.

Chava Kohavi Pines was born Eva Hirsch in 1927 in Vienna, Austria, to a middle-class Jewish family. Since immigrating to Palestine in 1946, the author has resided in Kibbutz Dorot in the northern Negev where she worked as a teacher and counsellor for years.
