The deeply moving true account of a young Jewish
woman’s imprisonment at the Auschwitz death camp

 
In 1944, on the morning of her twenty-third birthday,
Isabella Leitner and her family were deported to Auschwitz, the Nazi
extermination camp. There, she and her siblings relied on one
another’s love and support to remain hopeful in the midst of the
great evil surrounding them.

In Fragments of
Isabella, Leitner reveals a glimpse of humanity in a world of
darkness. Hailed by Publishers Weekly as “a celebration of
the strength of the human spirit as it passes through fire,” this
powerful and luminous Pulitzer Prize–nominated memoir, written
thirty years after the author’s escape from the Nazis, has become a
classic of holocaust literature and human survival.
