About this title

Synopsis

Point a finger, said the American soldier, at the one who made you look like a skeleton.

That sentence marks the end of a nightmare and a moment of moral clarity for Eva Brown, who survived Auschwitz and lost sixty members of her extended family in the Holocaust.

Born into a close and loving Jewish home, Brown saw her idyllic childhood end at age 16, when Nazi troops invaded the small Hungarian town where her father was a rabbi. In If You Save One Life, Brown vividly describes how she endured through faith, determination, and her sheer will to survive. Her story will make you cry and sing.

Review

Very significant and meaningful...An everlasting and important legacy for the six million people who had no voice during the Holocaust and a reminder to future generations that championing tolerance, justice and social change are everyone's obligation. --Rabbi Marvin Hier, Founder and Dean, Simon Wiesenthal Center

Eva Brown's memoir of the Holocaust is an emotional cliffhanger of unspeakable evil and tragedy as well as hope, tolerace, and forgiveness. Her memory is history's DNA. --Madeline Gabriel, Outreach Manager, Beverly Hills Library

Literate...sensitive...embodies the agonies of the past, but also emphasizes the hope of the future. --Leon Morgenstern, MD, FACs, Director Emeritus, Center for Health Ethics, Cedars Sinai Medical Center
