This is a story that broke my heart, what Tova's mother had to do to ensure her child's survival -- and how she never recovered from it. But she imparted her strength and independence to her daughter. Highly recommend this well-researched, well-written, well-organized, compelling memoir. ( ) One of those books that should be included in a must read category, so that we do not repeat this brutal history. Although I'd read many Memoirs of survivors of WWII, this is most shocking because of how young Tova was when the ghettos were established in Poland, only a toddler! That she and her writing partner Malcolm were able to put together her memories with dates of events and to combine that with her Father's book about his participation and witness to the horrendous time is remarkable. Her story of survival to lead such a productive and positive life despite her beginnings can give hope. At the age of six, Tova and her mother were liberated from the Auschwitz concentration camp. One of the youngest survivors, this book outlines her life before, during, and after WWII. Powerfully moving, this was a strong and well written book. It is hard to believe that such a young child could come through such horrors and thrive. Alongside her story is the powerful message that the world cannot forget what happened. Tova is not only a survivor, but a living testament. Overall, 5 out of 5 stars. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:*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, following her childhood growing up during the Holocaust and surviving a string of near-death experiences in a Jewish ghetto, a Nazi labor camp, and Auschwitz. "I am a survivor. That comes with a survivor's obligation to represent one and half million Jewish children murdered by the Nazis. They cannot speak. So I must speak on their behalf." Tova Friedman was one of the youngest people to emerge from Auschwitz. After surviving the liquidation of the Jewish ghetto in Central Poland where she lived as a toddler, Tova 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 and sent to Auschwitz II, also known as the Birkenau extermination camp, while her father was transported to Dachau. During six months of incarceration in Birkenau, Tova witnessed atrocities that she could never forget, and experienced numerous escapes from death. She is one of a handful of Jews to have entered a gas chamber and lived to tell the tale. As Nazi killing squads roamed Birkenau before abandoning the camp in January 1945, Tova and her mother hid among corpses. After being liberated by the Russians they made their way back to their hometown in Poland. Eventually Tova's father tracked them down and the family was reunited. In The Daughter of Auschwitz, Tova immortalizes what she saw, to keep the story of the Holocaust alive, at a time when it's in danger of fading from memory. She has used those memories that have shaped her life to honour the victims. Written with award-winning former war reporter Malcolm Brabant, this is an extremely important book. Brabant's meticulous research has helped Tova recall her experiences in searing detail. Together they have painstakingly recreated Tova's extraordinary story about the world's worst ever crime.
