- Summary
- "... Born in Latvia, ... Eva especially remembers the chestnut trees, many of them over seventy-five feet tall. ... By 1939, Eva had met the love of her life, Rueben (Rudy) Gutman. She used to watch him in synagogue when he sang in the choir. A watchmaker like his father, Rudy was engaged to Eva ... All this loveliness was destroyed when first the Soviets and then the Germans occupied Liepaja. ... In 1943, the Liepaja Ghetto was liquidated and Eva, her mother, and Rudy were transported to labor camps. These labor camps were ill-heated; hair would freeze to the ground where they slept. Sanitary conditions were atrocious; the stench, suffocating. The work, back-breaking. The family survived the labor camps. They even survived Bergen-Belsen where Eva witnessed cannibalism before it was liberated by the British in March 1945"--Cover Page 4.
