My Bridges of Hope

This poignant memoir recounting the author's experiences after Auschwitz will captivate readers as they follow her through heartache, frustration, adventure, excitement, love, and, ultimately, triumph.

After liberation from Auschwitz, fourteen-year-old Elli, her brother, and their mother attempt to rebuild their lives in Czechoslovakia. But it doesn't take long for Elli to realize that even though the war is over, anti-Semitism is not, so she and her family decide to escape to America along with thousands of other Jews. Little do they know what agonies and adventures await them still.
