The Daughter of Auschwitz

by Tova Friedman and Malcolm Brabant (£20, HB, Quercus) From one of the youngest survivors of Auschwitz comes this powerful memoir of everything Tola (now Tova) endured and witnessed as a toddler. Just four years old when the Nazis sent her father to Dachau and Tola and her mother to Auschwitz-birkenau extermination camp, she witnessed horrors and barbarism that no child should ever experience during her formative years. A real testament to the power of the human survival instinct and an extremely moving story.
