But You Did Not Come Back by Marceline Loridan-Ivens

4.0

---

So moving and human and inhumane and personal and intimate and far-reaching. This takes the form of long letter (very short book) from Marceline to her father. They were taken to separate (but very close) concentration camps during the second world war. She makes it home; he does not. Much like the memoirs I read for research for Our Endless Numbered Days of young women kidnapped and kept in isolation for many years, making it back to her family alive does not end the tragedy.
