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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eDaughter of Auschwitz\u003c\/i\u003e Tova immortalizes what she saw to keep the story of the Holocaust alive at a time when it is 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 one of the worst ever crimes against humanity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026gt;","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44786986680499,"sku":"9781529423471","price":920.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17477329989781529423471.jpg?v=1762811672","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/the-daughter-of-auschwitz-1146","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
