Livia Bitton-Jackson (Born Elli L. Friedmann)

Survivor

 

My name is Kelsie Klingenberg, and I am a student at Nashville Community High School.  In our English IV Honors course we always do an outreach project for our Holocaust Unit.   I chose one of my hobbies, designing, and made a website.  I chose Livia-Bitton Jackson because I had her book, I Have Lived a Thousand Years, since I was young and decided to read the book.  As I read the book, I soon realized that this story was unique and should be told.  Livia-Bitton Jackson's story of strength and perseverance, as well as her lesson to never give up has insprired me, and I hope it can insprire just one other person.
