A review by halfling_stories
The Daughter of Auschwitz by Malcolm Brabant, Tova Friedman

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

This book, especially the first half, is a challenging, painful read. The details of the Shoah are starkly presented and preserved, with the author's memories supported by photos and historical research.
While at times horrifying, this memoir is beautifully written; the author's lost family are lovingly remembered.
I'm glad the latter half of the book is a memoir of her whole life after liberation- full of hope and healing and service and family.
