The Daughter of Auschwitz

Ad Copy

Instant New York Times bestseller, with a foreword by Sir Ben Kingsley. A powerful memoir by one of the youngest survivors of Auschwitz. Tova Friedman was four when she and her parents were sent to a Nazi labour camp, and almost six when she and her mother were forced into a packed cattle truck bound for Birkenau. "I am a survivor. That comes with a survivor's obligation to represent one and a half million Jewish children murdered by the Nazis. They cannot speak. So I must speak on their behalf." During six months of incarceration she witnessed atrocities she could never forget, and escaped death again and again. She is one of a handful of Jews to have entered a gas chamber and lived to tell the tale.
