"Tova Friedman was one of the youngest people to emerge from Auschwitz. Tova was four when she and her parents were sent to a Nazi labour camp, and almost six when she was sent to Auschwitz II, also known as the Birkenau extermination camp. During six months of incarceration in Birkenau, Tova witnessed atrocities that she could never forget, and experienced numerous escapes from death. She is one of a handful of Jews to have entered a gas chamber and lived to tell the tale. Tova immortalizes what she saw, to keep the story of the Holocaust alive, at a time when it's in danger of fading from memory."--Provided by the publisher.
