Janka Festinger's Moments of Happiness

The center-piece of this book is Janka Festinger's 60-page Holocaust letter that she wrote in 1945. This is her very personal account of her experiences as she was taken from her home in Sighet, Romania to the death camps of the Nazi regime... Auschwitz, Birkenau, Geislingen, Dachau, and finally to liberation on the first of May in 1945. This is one of the first written accounts from a Holocaust survivor. Presented with the letter are stories about Janka and her life in America as told by her son, David Speace.
