Livia Bitton Jackson's gripping books are an eye opener for the harsh realities of the holocaust. Her books are extra-ordinairily captivating, arousing much interest in other holocaust books and the history of WW2 in general. I would really like to get in touch with Livia Bitton-Jackson. Does anyone have any contact details, such as email or anything??

It's been quite a few years, but I was in her Hebrew II class at Herbert H. Lehman College in 1983. She was an amazingly classy lady, and I'd love to talk to her again - just came back from my very first trip to Israel and I couldn't help but remember that semester.

I was drawn to the Book, "I have Lived A Thousand Years" and was shocked to tears when I read that her only friend in the factory in Augsburg was a Mr. Scheidel. I felt connected somehow and wish I could let her know. I am not Jewish but am wondering if my husband had Jewish relatives. Did she ever contact "Mr. Scheidel" after the war?

How wonderful to have Mrs. Bitton-Jackson as a friend! What a tremendous person she is! I've read three of her books and am anxiously awaiting the release of her latest one. I did find a message from her in which she most amazingly gave out her email & snailmail addresses, and I wrote her, thanking her for sharing her life with the rest of us. I also found a couple of photos of her online, and she is still beautiful, just as I pictured her beauty when she described herself as a tall, thin, unfortunately (Ha!)13-year old.
One thing I would love, and that would be to sit under her in a classroom, or, at the very least, listen to her speak.

I find stories like this to be motivating. The other day, I had planned to run 3 miles. At each mile, I just kept thinking "Elli wouldn't have quit running" and ended up running 6 1/2 miles. The only unanswered question I have is if Elli ever tried to find her book of poems that she gave to the young soldier early in the book.

I have read her book and of course cried! It is an amazing book and I'm blessed that tomorrow I get the chance to meet her. She is a wonderful rolemodel. If you are still reading Holocaust books you should read SHOAH by Cantor Leo Fettman, it is amazing!!
