This is a paperback edition--like new--read once.

What is death all about? What is life all about?
So wonders 13 yr old Elli Friedmann, just one of the many innocent Holocaust victims, as she fights for her life in a concentration camp. It wasn't long ago that Elli led a normal life; a life rich and full that included family, friends, school, and thoughts about boys. A life in which Elli could lie and daydream for hours that she was a beautiful and elegant celebrated poet.
But these adolescent daydreams quickly darken in March 1944, when the Nazis invade Hungary. First Elli can no longer attend school, have possessions, or talk to her neighbors. Then she and her family are forced to leave their beloved house behind to move into a crowded ghetto, where privacy becomes a luxury of the past and food becomes a scarcity. Her strong will and faith allow Elli to manage and adjust somehow, but what Elli doesn't know is this is only the beginning and the worst is yet to come.
A remarkable memoir, I Have Led A Thousand Years is a story of cruelty and suffering, but at the same time a story of hope, faith, perseverance, and love.
