- Marietta Moskin, née Duschnitz, was born to a Jewish family in Vienna, Austria. Her family went to the Netherlands to escape Nazi persecution, and she went to school in Amsterdam until 1940, when they were arrested and sent to concentration camps. They survived and emigrated to the USA in 1946. She earned a BA from Barnard College and an MA in economics from the University of Wisconsin, and worked as an economist for General Motors. Later, she became a prolific children's book author, publishing 16 books plus short stories and translations. Her novel I Am Rosemarie, based on her experiences in the Holocaust, is considered a classic and is read in schools throughout the USA and Europe.

Rosemarie is a Polish Jew who survived the atrocities of the Holocaust. Along with her family she is first sent to Westerbork, where she struggle to make friends and survive. Her family is then sent to Bergen-Belsen, where the conditions are considerably worse. Although this is an interesting book, it is a bit far-fetched. It describes the camps more in the terms of a harsh summer camp rather than the death and work camps that they were. Further, it is a bit incredulous that the entire family was able to stay together and that they were never separated from their luggage. Although Rosemarie had lice, she was also spared from the hair cutting that was a matter of routine in the camps. Overall, I would not recommend this book to those wanting to learn more about the holocaust.… (mehr)
