Her memoir, written in the voice of a young girl, describes the years before the invasion of Holland, her experiences during the German occupations, her time spent in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, and her childhood afterward in Europe and then the United States. Appel Is Forever describes in a child's words atrocities that should never be seen by anyone. A Holocaust survivor who is now a trained therapist, the author tells not only what it was like to witness the horrors of Bergen-Belsen but also how a child set about resuming the business of growing up after. Whiteley shares her sense of dislocation after the war and the hope that was restored by emigrating to the United States. |
