Lived and told by a beautiful young bride with fearless defiance, Magda's harrowing experience reveals a character who is larger than life and death. Hers is a love story more complex than any happy-ever-after tale. It recounts the love of culture, beauty, and life itself that fueled Magda's will to survive; the love for her husband that made her stay to face Nazi horror instead of escaping with her parents and siblings; and her love for strangers, whose humanity amidst the most inhumane circumstances illuminates every page through Magda's heroic voice. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Preiss, Magda. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 650 0 Holocaust survivors |vBiography. 650 0 Jews |zIllinois |vBiography. 650 6 Holocauste, 1939-1945. |0(CaQQLa)201-0011801 650 6 Survivants de l'Holocauste |0(CaQQLa)201-0128408 |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 Juifs |zIllinois |0(CaQQLa)201-0460797 |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0380815 650 7 Holocaust survivors. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958838 650 7 Jews. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00983135 651 7 Illinois. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01205143 647 7 Jewish Holocaust |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 2 Autobiography. |0(DNLM)D020493 655 7 Autobiographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Autobiographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Autobiographies. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000520 700 1 Greenberg, Aaron, |eeditor. 700 1 Greenberg, AJ, |eeditor. 852 0 |bscstacks |hE184.37.P74 |iR54 2020
