Notes:

"I have written a book as a Jewish mother who has been sensitive to the suffering of her people ever since she was in a position to understand the impact of bigotry. As a mother who survived the greatest catastrophe in the annals of history, and whose husband and children suffered with her humiliation, disease and constant danger, I consider it a sacred duty to describe our experiences in 1940-1946."--Introduction.
