THE GIRL WHO WALKED OUT OF NAZI GAS CHAMBER : AN ASTONISHING NAZI HOLOCAUST SURVIVAL STORY OF GENA TURGEL, WHO WAS THE CONSOLER OF ANNE FRANKEach individual concerned with the hazards has a unique picture. Some will be filled with rage, others with sorrow and yet others with mercy. An instance packed with all these complex emotions in humans once shocked the world. The Second World War and the Holocaust that followed created such a dire situation. The complexion of animosity at the time will be directed at Adolf Hitler, the leader who stood in the way of the war. During Anne Frank’s final hours in the Nazi camps, some nurses approached her with comforting hands. Gena Turgel, who died a few years ago, was one of the heirs of those merciful hands. When the 22-year-old orphaned by the war was freed, she found a man to join her in her future life from that era. After overcoming the miseries of battle, Gena and the soldier Norman Turgel were finally united.

This book paints a picture of Gena Goldfinger’s wartime life before she emerged as a consolation to others in the years ahead. Her survival and her days spent sharing her Holocaust adventures with students are also elements in this book. In addition, the scenario in the camps, including Bergen-Belsen, where Turgel worked during the time of freedom, and also the life of Gena and the final days of Anne in those barracks are discussed here.

[Teresa Webber · Rating 1 out of 5]

This is absolutely the most poorly written book I’ve ever read. Her story is amazing; I am so sad that it was butchered so badly by the writer. This read like memorial excerpts from small publications (newspapers, magazines?) copied at random to compile into a “book.” There was no timeline. Concepts or events were mentioned and then introduced all over again in the same way 15 pages later. Ms. Turgel deserved so much better.

Amazing story. Written poorly

[Alanna Fowler · Rating 1 out of 5]

read a lot of WW2 stories amongst other hard hitting toppings, this didn’t feel so much like her story and instead a claim to fame for Anne frank- sound horrible it I think she has a story to tell - not a chapter added to someone elses
I think the author butchered this - sorry

Read via kindle unlimited. Repeated information had no real story to it or purpose.
Could have been much better

[Stephanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting, short book on kindle unlimited. It is written more like a news article than a book. 3 stars

[Pam · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is very hard to read. it keeps repeating itself over and over. It is very disjointed. Although it is suppose to be about Gena Turgel, it seems that the most important thing she did in her life in the camp was to try to help Anne when she had Typhus and died. I may try to read it again in a few weeks to see if I missed something or if my copy is just one with repeating parts.

Honest work

The reason for 4 stars is there are misspelled words and some of the story is repeated. All in all a great short story from persons who suffered so much. We owe it to all those that were lost and survived to make sure it does not happen again.

Emotional story

This book outlines the terror and brutality during the Holocaust and gives us insight into more of Anne Frank’s life.
