Kluger

Before reading Still Alive, I expected the voice of the author to be somewhat similar to The Diary of Anne Frank because I didn't know the background of the author at that time. But instead I was confronted by a voice that unsentimental, blunt at times, and critical of people (especially people who make assumptions about Holocaust victims). Her way of thinking reminded me of Antigone, if that book had been written as a memoir, her voice most likely resemble Ruth Kluger's. Ruth has a certain way of thinking that goes against all conventions at the time. She certainly didn't side with the Nazis, but she didn't entirely agree with her family either. She seemed like an internal rebel for the most part, but some of her actions did reflect her resistance to the external world.
