Hannelore Brenner's compilation of stories and anecdotes from the girls who lived in Theresienstadt is so much more than various memoirs. I love that Brenner took the time to explain the prehistory of the Holocaust and the many events that led to the girls subsequent incarcerations. I found it amazing the level of normalcy that was maintained for the children who were lucky enough to live in the girls and boys home of Theresienstadt.
Amazing too, that many from their room survived. I think that their camaraderie and friendship that was cultivated during that time truly helped the young women who were transported out of Theresienstadt. towards the end of the war.
