About this listen
Rosie was always told her red hair was a curse, but she never believed it. She often dreamed what it would look like under a white veil with the man of her dreams by her side. However, her life takes a harrowing turn in 1944 when she is forced out of her home and sent to the most gruesome of places: Auschwitz.
Upon arrival, Rosie’s head is shaved and along with the loss of her beautiful hair, she loses the life she once cherished. Among the chaos and surrounded by hopelessness, Rosie realizes the only thing the Nazis cannot take away from her is the fierce redhead resilience in her spirit. When all of her friends conclude they are going to heaven from Auschwitz, she remains determined to get home. She summons all of her courage, through death camps and death marches to do just that.
This victorious biography, written by Nechama Birnbaum in honor of her grandmother, is as full of life as it is of death. It is about the intricacies of Jewish culture that still exist today and the tender experiences that are universal to all humanity. It is a story about what happens when we choose hate over love.

Informative....
Interesting, heart-warming, and heart-warming from start to finish. The narrator was very good at using different voices for the characters.

Excellent
Excellent read. Hearing life before the holocaust as part of the narrative sets the context in a way that most histories or biographies of this time do not. I found the narrator occasionally grating, but the content over-rode any issues there.
Her journey is beyond remarkable. The tiny details of everyday life paints a fuller picture of the horror, but also of the strength and kindness that resonates throughout.
