Agnes. How My Spirit Survived Agnes Sassoon

Agnes was eleven years old when she was captured in Budapest right out of her school. She was sent to the concentration camp of Dachau. Here she not only experienced hunger and terror, but also her first tender love story with Alex, a young boy who helped her survive. Agnes endured one of the terrible death marches across Germany before she arrived in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp where she was finally liberated by British soldiers. After the war she went to school in Prague, worked for the Zionist underground organization Breha and finally immigrated to Israel.
