uberbutter 's review for:
Always Remember Your Name: A True Story of Family and Survival in Auschwitz
by Andra Bucci, Tatiana Bucci
emotional
reflective
sad
medium-paced
230,000 children would go through the gates of Auschwitz. About 50 would survive the ordeal. This book is written by two sisters who were sent to Auschwitz when they were 4 and 6, lived in the Kinderblock and survived. Miraculously, so did their mom (who was at a time and Auschwitz and later transfered) and dad (imprisoned in South Africa). They would all eventually reunite.
The story is sparse and to the point. The sisters tell their story as a combined "we" in most cases and in the 3rd person when needed (aka "Tati remembers this different than Andra does...") They are still alive (in their 80s) and making sure their story is told. Survivors of the Holocaust become less and less as the years pass and it is crucial that their stories be passed on and never forgotten.
