Only a Bad Dream?

<p> One of the youngest survivors of the Warsaw ghetto author Sahbra Anna Markus lived a life only those who have survived Hitler's hell can imagine. In <em>Only a Bad Dream?</em> she narrates the drama of her early years through her most vivid memories. Sahbra courageously recounts those childhood experiences in her compelling voice now freed from the repeated warnings: Don't tell anyone you're a Jew. Don't forget you're a Jew. It was only a dream. Hang on tight or you'll get lost and die. </p> <p> She tells of traipsing through forests at night fleeing certain death of her parents hiding her in a church desperate to save her life. A frantic search for surviving family found the Markuses traveling throughout Europe on foot by rowboat military train farm wagon trucks and finally the ship <em>Caserta</em> that delivered them to the land of hope freedom and new beginnings-the only Jewish homeland Israel. </p> <p> <em>Only a Bad Dream</em> ? shares how in the midst of hunger and deprivation Sahbra still found joy in simple things like cats the moon wolves and fireflies. A story of the triumph of the human spirit this memoir provides strong insight into the courage strength and dignity possessed by those who endured the Holocaust. </p>
