    The Story of Blima
  

*by L***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 9, 2010*

The Story of Blima: A Holocaust Survivor, by Shirley Russak Wachtel"The Story of Blima" is a very slim book, weighing in at 133 pages. But the subject matter is heavy, and while you'll likely read the book quickly, Blima and her story will stay in your mind for a while.The book takes place between the years of 1936 and 1947 and covers Blima's life before, during, and after the Holocaust. Captured off the street of her hometown by the Nazis, Blima is imprisoned in a forced labor camp for the majority of the war. The recollections of camp life are short but harrowing; instead the book mainly focuses on Blima's attempts to rebuild her life after being freed. The difficulty and tragedy of attempting to find surviving family members is heartbreaking to read.A note in the book says that "The Story of Blima" is taken from a larger work, "My Mother's Shoes", which I am now trying to find. The story and book are written by Blima's daughter.4/5.

Having read hundreds of survivor stories I am always amazed that in each one there is something new I have never heard before. This little books packs a hug story. It is written as if Blima herslef is talking to you and telling the story but it is infact her daughter who wrote the book. It is so well done I didn't realize it until the end.One event of that was so mean done in one of the camps Blima was in really shocked me. The Nazi guard would nightly come into the barracks and eat and apple. She would peel it and let the skin fall to the floor then her guard dog would get the core and the peel. Now consider these poor women and girls where starving to death...the sound of her eating a sweet crisp apple. I know a lot of horrid things happened but that was just one salt in the wound I had not heard before.Blima is such a strong woman and I am so glad that she survived. I thank her daughter for getting her story into print so that we may never forget. I must read.

    Blimala's Story
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 19, 2017*

A quick read. I have read many books about the holocaust. Sometimes the names are familiar from one book to another or town to town. Common thread to theses stories are the facts about their ordeals. They are ALL alike and are true accounts of their days in the different camps sad as it may be. The Holocaust DID exist.
