Description
Hédi Fried's story is one of unimaginable loss and survival. At nineteen, she was taken from her home in Eastern Europe and transported to Auschwitz, where her parents were murdered and she and her sister were forced into hard labour until the end of the war.
Now ninety-eight years old, Fried has spent her life answering young people's questions about the Holocaust, sharing her experiences with sensitivity and complete candour. In this deeply human book, she addresses questions such as 'How was it to live in the camps?', 'Did you dream at night?', and 'Can you forgive?'.
This book is a powerful reminder of the importance of never forgetting and never repeating the atrocities of the past. Fried's story urges us to confront the darkness of history with honesty and compassion, and to learn from those who have lived through it.
