The fact she is 83 now made me realise time will soon erase all those that experienced this first hand and it’s important to capture as much insight as we can before relying on second hand accounts. As I sat down to read The Daughter of Auschwitz I more or less knew what I’d be getting. A harrowing account of a child’s survival against all odds during a time of inexplicable torture, hatred and hopelessness. This book gave me so much more and thanks to her heart wrenching account of her days trying to live, simply see the next day, Tola gave me a book I’m unlikely to forget – just like that time was with Vera Gissing when she opened up her home to me.This was a true story vs. a historical fiction. The author wants to make sure that no one ever forgets what happened during the holocaust, and as human beings, we never should! A few years ago I had the privilege and honour to spend time with someone, who had escaped the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia as a child in 1939, while recording a documentary for the BBC. I’ve never forgotten that time or the stories she shared of Sir Nicholas Winton and The Kinder Transport and the evil of the Nazi regime – I hope I never will, it had a profound effect on me. Chief Commandant ( Standortältester') in Auschwitz ("Operation Höss" – mass murder of Hungarian jews) TikTok, TikTak is something else. TikTok, because he thought that his schoolmates don’t know anything about it and he knew that they watched the platform, that they were comfortable with it. And he even said to me, “It’ll only be like 10, 15 people. Maybe they’ll call you.”
Her personal memories were accompanied by references to her father’s written contributions to the Yiskor {remembrance} book, written post-war, which portrayed the ghetto in which they were imprisoned, its destruction, and the slaughter of the Jews within its walls. The father was separated from Tova and her mother, but reunited after liberation. The impact of their Holocaust experiences lay heavily on each of them in the years that followed. Höß 1959, p. 8. Translator's note states: "The original documents are the property of the High Commission for the Examination of Hitlerite Crimes in Poland ( Glownej Komisji Badania Zbrodni Hitlerowskich w Polsce), but the Auschwitz Museum made a photostat available to Dr. Broszat, who has fully tested its authenticity".

A very moving account of the writers life which was spent in her early years in various camps including Aushwitz and how she felt she needed rightly to share her story to pass on the message of the horrors of the holocaust a b Harding, Thomas (7 September 2013).

As the survivors of the Holocaust dwindle, the stories keep coming which keep the memories, honours and this mankind brutal act alive. As Malcolm said, it took 20 years for this deterioration of the human behavior. First, the books were burned, all the literature, everything, right? Everything was burned. And somebody once said that people who are capable of burning books are eventually capable of burning people. And my mother met somebody she knew, a Polish neighbor. And the neighbor was coming towards us. And my mother was so happy to see somebody she knew. And the Polish woman said to her, which I remember very well: "What are you still doing here? I thought Hitler killed you all."
Wow! What an amazing, horrific story. This tells the story of little Tova, who grew up during the Holocaust. She was only 4 when she remembers hiding, alone, while her parents worked in the ghettos. She remembers being shoved in a cattle car, separated from her father, to go to Auschwitz. She remembers every grueling part of life that no one should have ever had to experience, let alone children! I just have to — this book came about as a result of Malcolm coming to report on the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. And he was talking to you.
That was just one thing that caused her early death, because she died at 45 in America. She never stopped talking about it.Klee, Ernst (2013).

Some 700 arrived in June 1940, and were told they would not survive more than three months. [35] At its peak, Auschwitz comprised three separate facilities: Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II-Birkenau and Auschwitz III-Monowitz. These included many satellite sub-camps, and the entire camp was built on about 8,000 hectares (20,000 acres) that had been cleared of all inhabitants. [28] Auschwitz I was the administrative centre for the complex; Auschwitz II Birkenau was the extermination camp where most of the murders were committed; and Auschwitz III Monowitz was the slave-labour camp for I.G. Farbenindustrie AG, and later other German industries. The main purpose of Monowitz was the production of buna, a form of synthetic rubber. As a mother, this story brought me to tears multiple times as I couldn’t even imagine being in this situation.
