The deeply moving true account of a young Jewish woman's imprisonment by the Nazis at the Auschwitz death camp.

In 1944, on the morning of Isabella's birthday, she and her family were deported to Auschwitz, the Nazi extermination camp. There, Isabella and her siblings relied on one another's love and support to remain hopeful in the midst of the great evil surrounding them. With the voice of a poet, she reveals a humanity in a world of darkness.

Thirty years after she escaped from the Nazis, Isabella wrote this powerful and luminous Pulitzer Prize-nominated memoir. Hailed by Publishers Weekly as "a celebration of the strength of the human spirit as it passes through fire," Fragments of Isabella has become a classic of holocaust literature and human survival.
