emotionally educational, 2008-03-02
This book gives much insight into pre-war conditions in places such as the Warsaw Ghetto, etc - none of this taught in History classes; Annas memoirs are deeply moving. I wish the book read more smoothly; every page has numerous footnotes explaining words definitions and who people were, causing constant interruption in such involved reading. I believe 98% of the footnotes could have been eliminated by including them within the paragraph, making the entire book smooth rather than disheveled. Her story is sad but moving and educational.

Well wriiten Chronicle, 2006-09-11
This is a wonderfully written and descriptive memoir. Anna's vivid and beautiful memories of her life before the war are particularly involving. I, personally, was captivated by them. Her concetration camp memoirs are heartbreaking and informative. A very worthwhile read.

A striking, gripping memoir of life in a concentration camp., 2002-03-23
Never Far Away: The Auschwitz Chronicles Of Anna Heilman gathers and presents the memories of Anna Heilman, who fought for survival in Auschwitz during the Holocaust. Anna's life in Warsaw became one of loss and a fight to live as she recalls her life before, during and after the war. A striking, gripping memoir of life in the camp and a very strongly recommended addition to academic and community library Holocaust Studies and 20th Century European History Studies readling lists and reference collections.
