HI
I have read all Bitton-Jackson's books! At least I think all of them! I love all the books!!!! I have a question: You married David Bitton right? Well what happend to him? Who is Jackson? I still would like to know more about your life. Do you live in Israel? My list of questions could go on but, I will not ask any more for now.

Dr. Bitton - I was your student at Lehman College (my name was Agnes Kolevzon - I re-married about 15 years ago) and we were in West Orange a few weeks ago and there was someone with the name Bitton, but to my disappointment it was not a relative.
We have made aliyah (two weeks ago) and live in Efrat. I would so much like to hear from you if at all possible. I am ashamed that with all the Hebrew you taught me, I am totally lost and the Ulpan doesn't start until AFTER the Hagim.
I hope I will hear from you.

I just finished reading "I have lived a Thousand Years" As a Jew I want to personaly thank Livia Bitton-Jackson for telling us her stories, and teaching us about her encredibly hard and tradgic life. I've been trying to find her address so I can sent a card to her, but I can't fime it. If anyone knows how to obtain it, I would grately appriciate it. Thanks!

Yes, the author is still alive. I was lucky enough to have taken a college class that she taught (she has a PhD and was a professor at Lehman College in NYC in 2004). Learning about the Holocaust and the history of Anti-Semitism from someone who experienced the terror of the extermination camps first-hand was a true highlight for me as a novice historian.
I believe that 2004 was her last year teaching in the U.S. and she currently resides in Israel with her husband and family.
Oh, by the way ... Elle Friedmann and the author Livia Bitton-Jackson is the same person. It's an autobiography. Her real first name is Elvira, which she never liked. Elle was a nickname. Friedmann was her maiden name before marriage. Her first husband's name was Bitton, her second husband's name is Jackson. Hence, Livia Bitton-Jackson. :)
If you want to know more about Livia ... "I have Lived One Thousand Years" is the first book in a TRILOGY. Buy and read books #2 and #3!

Is Elli still alive? If so please have her email me because I just started reading a book about her that made me want to meet her or at least learn about her and ask some questions.

That book is so great! I loved it!! It was very very sad at times but I could never put it down. I am very happy that Elli survived and it is just wonderful to read!

My daughter, 11 yrs old, chose your book as a school project. She couldn't put the book down because she was so interested in reading about your life. In fact, she was so taken by the book that I began reading it after she was done. I must tell you that I was moved to tears by the hardships of your life. I couldn't imagine anyone going through the hardships that you endured especially someone as young as you were then. It was a miracle that you and your family survived such a horrific time in history. As an American and a human being, I hope this kind of hatred is elimated from our world. The suffering which is endured by innocent people should never be felt by anyone. I hope our country and world can move towards people not only for my generation but especially for our children.
