About this ebook
Includes 204 photos, plans and maps illustrating The Holocaust
Despite the Nazi oppression of all Jews in the lands under their control, Judith Sternberg Newman and her family were hugely fortunate to have managed get permission to settle in Paraguay in 1940. However their escape was blocked by the German authorities who refused to provide an exit visa, from that moment on, as the author notes, “fate turned against us”. As the author relates in these horrific memoirs are the torments, brutality and death at Auschwitz; the treatment that left here by the end of the war as the only surviving member of her family. She emigrated to America in 1947 where she was able to practise at her chosen profession in nursing and raise a family.

This book should be mandatory reading for everyone old enough to understand it. I thank God that she lived to give this testimony so that we will not allow such atrocious things to happen again.

What a sad story. It is so horrible to believe that such hatred existed. The events are unimaginable to comprehend how people were ill treated. I hope our world learns from this and will never allow it again.
