Non-Fiction
For nearly fifty years, Sala Kirschner kept a secret: She
had survived five years as a slave in seven different Nazi
work camps. Living in America after the war, she kept hidden
from her children any hint of her epic, inhuman odyssey. She
held on to more than 350 letters, photographs, and a diary
without ever mentioning them. Only in 1991, on the eve of
heart surgery, did she suddenly present them to Ann, her
daughter, and offer to answer any questions Ann wished to
ask. When Sala first reported to a camp in Geppersdorf,
Germany, at the age of sixteen, she thought it would be for
six weeks. Five years later, she was still at a labor camp
and only she and two of her sisters remained alive of an
extended family of fifty. Sala's Gift is a
heartbreaking, eye-opening story of survival and love amidst
history's worst nightmare.
