Summary of Arie Tamir's I Only Wanted to Live

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had three siblings: Gizia, my big, sweet and wonderful sister. She was a beautiful girl with big blue eyes and a noble, serious and quiet character. I loved playing with her dolls. Sarenka was a wonderful baby, but I was jealous of her. #2 My mother was very active in social circles. She was very proud of me, as I was excellent in math from a young age. I didn’t understand why guests would come to my house to ask me math problems. #3 My father was part owner of a wholesale textile business. He supplied fabrics to most of the stores and sewing factories in Krakow and the surrounding area. He frequently traveled for work, and wasn’t home a lot. #4 I had many aunts, uncles, and cousins. I never knew my father's parents, who had died when I was young, but I was named after my grandfather, who had four brothers and three sisters. I was a very close family.
