Born in TomaszoÌw Mazowiecki, Poland, in 1938, Friedman's first memories were of life in the Jewish ghetto. Suffering starvation, disease, and constant violence, she and her parents managed to survive several deportations and mass killings by the Gestapo. In autumn 1943, however, the family was deported to a slave labour camp in central Poland, and then taken in July 1944 to Auschwitz, where Friedman and her mother were separated from her father. "It's estimated that more than 230,000 children entered the Auschwitz complex," she notes. "Almost all of them were murdered in Birkenau within hours of dismounting from the cattle cars.... So why wasn't I?" That question lingers over her harrowing memories of the camp, including the time she and her block mates huddled for hours in the concrete anteroom for one of the gas chambers before being sent back to their barrack. After the war, Tova was reunited with her father, emigrated with her parents to America, married, and began sharing "the lessons of the Holocaust" in Israel and the U.S. Enriched by Friedman's earnest reckonings with her trauma and hard-won sense of optimism, this is a poignant testament to survival and faith"--Publisher's description. 600 10 $a Friedman, Tova, $d 1938- $0 (DLC)n 97087515 610 20 $a Auschwitz (Concentration camp) $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000122360451 $0 (DLC)n 96112360 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $v Personal narratives $0 (DLC)sh 85061518 655 7 $a autobiographies (literary works) $2 aat 655 7 $a Personal narratives. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a ReÌcits personnels. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a Brabant, Malcolm, $e Author $0 (DLC)no2022109420 941 $a 1 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611021517.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8FC4D79427B811EF9FBFAF4235ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LS@Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
