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 a 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.

Tragic and heartbreaking, but beautifully told from the first person perspective of a child who lived through WWII and witnessed so many horrors. An important read.

A unique perspective on the Holocaust

Tova, your resilience and fortitude is inspiring. I was transported to the camp with you, living the horror alongside you if only to the extent my physical absence allowed. As a social worker and abuse survivor myself, I admired your need to learn and keep your heritage alive. Thank you for such a touching and inspiring journey through your life. It was a pleasure to be along for the ride. God Bless!

Perhaps both the most haunting and moving first hand account biographies from an Auschwitz survivor. Tova was so young when she first suffered the horrors of WWII, she had seen so much before she even got to Auschwitz, she was already resilient. Still, it is a miracle that she and her mother survived, and her family was later reunited. The brutality of all she experienced is told with a child’s innocence, tempered by her adult self’s telling. This work is important. Hats off to Tova for refusing to have her tattooed number removed and speaking throughout her life, so that we do not forget.

Such an important book

Soul Penetrating

A quietly inspirational book. I laughed, I cried. Her mom was so strong and brave in protecting and showing her how to survive. Was glad to hear the father survived.

Quietly Inspirational
