Livia E. Bitton-Jackson wrote Holocaust memoirs for younger readers based on her experiences as a Jewish teenager deported from Hungary during the Second World War. I Have Lived a Thousand Years follows Elli Friedmann from the restrictions imposed on Jewish families through ghettos, Auschwitz, forced labour and other camps, keeping the account closely tied to what a thirteen-year-old girl saw and understood. My Bridges of Hope continues with the post-war period, including displacement, recovery and the attempt to build a future after persecution.
