Paper Gauze Ballerina 
Memoir of a Holocaust Survivor

Paper Gauze Ballerina is a memoir of a Holocaust survivor. This book is one person’s plight to rise above the ashes of the Holocaust and become a whole and functioning human being again. It will make you aware of how a genocide and the aftermath of a genocide extends through a lifetime, and sometimes for generations to come.
With the help of this book, the author ceased to remain a victim, and most of all, got rid of all her feelings of revenge, anger, and hate, bottled up from the injustices done to her during incarceration. She believes that those feelings are the major precursors to another genocide.
Paper Gauze Ballerina is a must for educators to read. It is a unique book which transforms a negative experience to a positive outlook.
