Sommario/riassunto

Nine years old when she entered a German concentration camp in 1945, Luisa Lang Owen barely survived the persecution of her people, eventually finding herself in America, where she made a new life for herself. This memoir is a personal depiction of what ethnic cleansing is really about.
