This is the story of a woman who was imprisoned for some years in the notorious extermination camp of Auschwitz. What she saw puts the story of medieval genocides into the same category as a child's cruelty. This is her own autobiography, and she shows not only her own courage, but the terrible urge to live which possessed her fellow prisoners. Half-starved, suffering from lice, scabies, dysentery, mowed down by typhus and pneumonia, they worked in the fields in icy slush and mud and registered new arrivals - hundreds of thousands of women from Holland, Greece, Italy and Hungary, who did not know where they were or why they had been seized.
That she survived, and finally managed to escape to tell the tale is one of many reasons why this book should be published and widely read, for most of her companions were murdered so that they would not bear witness. It is the very first testimony - written just after the author's escape and published as a first book about Auschwitz in world's literature - in year 1946.
There is a danger that we shall forget those things which are better not forgotten. Certainly, some things should be permanently recorded, so that posterity will remember what we would rather erase from our memories.
