I Have Lived a Thousand Years is a searing story of cruelty and suffering, but at the same time it is a story of hope, faith, perseverance, and love. This is the memoir of Elli Friedmann, who was thirteen years old in March 1944, when the Nazis invaded Hungary. One day your family has to leave your house behind and move into a crowded ghetto, where you lose all privacy and there isn’t enough food to eat. You can no longer attend school, have possessions, talk to your neighbors. Then suddenly, in a matter of hours, your life is shattered by the arrival of a foreign army.
Imagine being a thirteen-year-old girl in love with boys, school, family-life itself.
