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.\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eWhen 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.\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \" amazon ember arial sans-serif rgb italic font-size:=\"\" background-color:=\"\" font-style:=\"\"\u003eSala's Gift\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(15, 17, 17); font-family: \" amazon ember arial sans-serif rgb font-size:=\"\" background-color:=\"\"\u003e is a heartbreaking, eye-opening story of survival and love amidst history's worst nightmare.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IsraelBookShop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42253243809957,"sku":"0-8135-3353-8","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/8860\/9445\/files\/Sala_27s-Gift.jpg?v=1724996482","url":"https:\/\/www.israelbookshop.com\/products\/the-holocaust-theoretical-readings","provider":"IsraelBookShop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
