Left for Dead: Growing Up in a Nazi Death Camp
This gripping memoir tells the amazing story of a Holocaust survivor's years in a Nazi concentration camp. Left for Dead is the real-life account of Edith Eva Eger, who was a young teenager when she and her family were sent to Auschwitz. After she lost her parents and was made to dance to entertain the notorious Nazi Dr. Joseph Mengele, an American soldier pulled her from among the dead. Eger's story illustrates to young people that, with will and determination, it is possible to triumph over even the most difficult situation. Part of National Geographic's award-winning series of coming-of-age memoirs, this autobiography supports curriculum needs for primary source material, biographies, and young people's literature on the Holocaust.

This woman was amazing and so sweet and adorable when she came to speak at my college last year. She is so inspirational.

Mooi boek, indrukwekkend. Ook om te lezen hoe Eva het leven oppakt terwijl ze getraumatiseerd is

November 29, 2018The BC library does not have this book. Here is the email from them. November 2018.
Hi Sue,
I looked in our catalog and didn't see that book listed. I do see another book by Edith Eger, but not this one. Unfortunately, I'm not seeing this book available at other libraries in Wisconsin or the surrounding states. The only location I found it is in Toronto, Canada. We could try to request this book from them and have it sent here for you to check out, but no guarantees with that.
If you would like us to try to get it that way through Interlibrary Loan, we would need your library card number and preferred pick-up location for the item.
Please let us know if you have further questions, and thank you, Mary
