October Works CitedReviewsAn intelligent, humane, and noble book that rescues from obscurity an intelligent, humane, and noble woman. It stands as a testament to the power of reading, writing, compassion, and extraordinary courage. David Bezmozgis, author of The Free World With this searching, nuanced biography, Julijaukys introduces the English-speaking world to a genuine heroine of the Holocaust, while at the same time raising vital questions about the role of trauma, poverty, and ill health on women's literary production. Susan Olding, author of Pathologies: A Life in Essays This is an important new take on the legacy of the Holocaust. Eloquent and elegantly written, it reads like a Sebald text but with a voice profoundly its own. Laura Levitt, professor of Religion, Jewish Studies, and Gender at Temple University With this searching, nuanced biography, Julija Sukys introduces the English-speaking world to a genuine heroine of the Holocaust, while at the same time raising vital questions about the role of trauma, poverty, and ill health on women's literary production. --Susan Olding, author of Pathologies: A Life in Essays --Susan Olding (09/26/2011) """An intelligent, humane, and noble book that rescues from obscurity an intelligent, humane, and noble woman.
