The Daughter of Auschwitz
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.
Tova Friedman was born in 1938, just one year before the outbreak of the Second World War. She was one of many Jewish children living in the Polish town of Tomaszów Mazowiecki at the time. By the war's end, only five children from Tomaszów were still alive. Tova is one of the youngest survivors of Auschwitz and a campaigner against anti-Semitism. She was the director of a non-profit social service agency for twenty-five years, is currently a therapist, and lives in New Jersey, USA.
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."
