"This beautiful evocation of heartwarming frindship in the darkest of times is unforgettable."
Elie Wiesel, 2009
"This handful of girls wanted their memories of their dead friends and their time in Theresienstadt not to be forgotten. They wanted to make the story of their
survival, and the love and friendship that their caretakers showerd them, unforgettable. Together with the author, they have succeeded. In Hannelore Brenner, these women have found someone who
listened to them, who read their albums of poetry, their diaries, and their chronicles, and who has written a wonderful book."

"Brenner has gathered together these stories with great sensitivity. She makes the past spring to life and gracefully places the personal memories of these girls into
a historical context, while at the same time offering solid research and background information regarding life in Theresienstadt and the political situation of the time."

"The insights of the survivors and stories of the camp's victims are unforgettable and full of poignant humanity, conveyed through letters, photos, diaries, and remembrances….
