I Have Lived A Thousand Years
Overview & Summary
Livia Bitton-Jackson's memoir recounts her experience as a thirteen-year-old Hungarian Jewish girl deported to Auschwitz in 1944, describing the loss of her family, the brutal conditions of the camps, and her eventual liberation, all narrated with the immediacy of a diary despite being written from adult memory. It is one of the most widely used Holocaust memoirs in middle and high school curricula for its accessible, first-person voice.
