My Bridges of Hope by Livia Bitton-Jackson

This poignant memoir recounting the author's experiences after Auschwitz will captivate readers as they follow her through heartache, frustration, adventure, excitement, love, and, ultimately, triumph.

After liberation from Auschwitz, fourteen-year-old Elli, her brother, and their mother attempt to rebuild their lives in Czechoslovakia. But it doesn't take long for Elli to realize that even though the war is over, anti-Semitism is not, so she and her family decide to escape to America along with thousands of other Jews. Little do they know what agonies and adventures await them still.

I Have Lived a Thousand Years, which won the Christopher Prize in 1998, is based on the biography of Livia Bitton-Jackson, a Holocaust survivor from Hungary. Bitton-Jackson graduated from New York University with a doctorate in Hebrew Culture and Jewish History and has lectured at a number of colleges and universities. She penned her memoirs to deliver a message to the world: Never give up.
