In the most detailed contribution of the exchange ever published, Groschler paints an authentic picture of life before WWII amongst the upper echelons of German society, her ultimate persecution and escape to Holland where she was betrayed, the horrors of life in the Westerbork and Bergen-Belsen camps, and her eventual flight via Transport 222 to Palestine. Written immediately after her liberation in 1944, this unique document captures a little-known chapter of Holocaust history.
