About the Book

In the spring of 1944, Nazi Germany began the last of its major transports of European Jews, the Jews of Hungary, to the complex of labor and extermination camps in southwestern Poland that the Germans called Auschwitz. The Jews were not the only people deemed by the Third Reich as Lebensunwertes Leben (Life unworthy of Life) and sent to Auschwitz to be used for slave labor and then, one way or another, eliminated, but they were the primary target.

This is a fictional account of one woman's journey from her home in Hungary into that unimaginable nightmare, one that places her in the paths of Josef Mengele and Irma Grese and, over a nine month period of imprisonment in the Birkenau death camp, challenges her ability to not only remain alive and sane but to remain human. Though surrounded by death and faced with the likely loss of her entire family, she refuses to collapse into fear and resignation before her captors; refuses to relinquish her mind and soul to them; refuses to become like them by returning their hatred with hate. Instead, she tries to understand them in an attempt to comprehend how "a civilized people" could produce the monsters which the Nazis so brutally demonstrated themselves to be.

I met Eta, the real Eta, the woman who was the inspiration for the principal character of this story and my reason for writing it, at an ice rink in Seattle on the last day of Passover in 1988. What followed from our brief two hour conversation, during which she revealed that she had been a prisoner at the infamous Auschwitz death camp, was the beginning of a long journey for me which, eventually, would pull me out of my comfort zone of relative ignorance of world history into the history of European Jews, the humiliations and violations thrust upon them in their adopted countries for over two millennia, and from there to the ultimate inhumanity any group of people on our planet has ever been subjected to . . . the attempt, and near success, to annihilate its race entirely.

Since Eta was not able to write her own story, I have written one for her, because I believe, as many others have said before me, that the story of Auschwitz needs to be told again, and again, in the hope that the world will not forget what happened there, and why it happened . . . so it will not happen again.
