Overview
- Summary
- "While imprisoned in Auschwitz-Birkenau, thirteen-year-old Ruth Krautwirth maintained a sense of dignity even as she struggled to stay alive. Humanity in Auschwitz: Letters from My Grandmother is Ruth's life story, from growing up in Nazi Germany, through surviving the concentration camps with her mother, to rebuilding her life in the United States. With vivid imagery, Ruth describes the uncontrolled hatred and destruction she experienced in her youth. In her search for meaning and understanding after the war, Ruth emphasizes the importance of remembrance, and her testimony serves as a warning to prevent the recurrence of genocide and inhumanity. As a grandmother, Ruth realizes she must tell her story. Her words, captured in this memoir, transcend her lifetime."-- back cover.
