But You Did Not Come Back

This is a consuming and heartbreaking memoir from a female holocaust survivor of loss, grief and pain, written as a love letter from daughter to father (her father having correctly predicted that he would not come back from the camps, but that she would). The physical suffering of the absolute horror of Auschwitz-Birkenau is documented, but the emotional suffering - both at the concentration camp and plaguing her afterwards- jumps out at every page.

One of the most prolific memoir's I've ever read. The writing is so raw and emotional, it brings a new light to the memoir, a new level of honesty.

I won this book through the Goodreads Giveaway program. I read it from beginning to end without putting it down!.
