Summary
A best-seller in the German original, this translation of Kluger's unflinching memoir about growing up Jewish during the Holocaust documents the transformation of her family from middle-class members of Vienna's lively Jewish community to inmates at Auschwitz. A professor and a scholar of German literature, Kluger brings her talent as a critic to bear on the events of her own life as she tackles the formidable task of presenting Holocaust victims as real, flawed, sometimes difficult human beings. In Kluger's case, she lost a brother, her sometimes cruel father, and a detested great-aunt, and escaped to America with her unstable, manipulative mother. Kluger writes honestly about these people, about her harrowing experiences in the camps-and about her own difficult self as well.

Media Reviews
"[A] stark, moving book...." -- Lore Dickstein
-- New York Times Book Review
"What an amazing book it is. The literature of the Holocaust is vast and ever-growing, some of it of an uncommonly high order, but STILL ALIVE moves at once to the forefront. The story it tells is by now numbingly familiar-a child is wrested out of innocence into horror, adapts and copes, miraculously survives and somehow grows into a full, productive adulthood-but the voice that tells it is new and original....[I]t is as courageous as it is honest. Without in any way diminishing our sense of the horror that the Holocaust most certainly was, Kluger forces us to see it for what it also was: so absurd as to defy comprehension." -- Johathan Yardley
-- Washington Post Book World
"[A] book of breathtaking honesty and extraordinary insight...Her writing is vivid and precise; her observations are penetrating and sometimes barbed." -- Jon Wiener
-- Los Angeles Times Book Review
