Overview

In this vivid memoir originally published in German, Anne Groschler (1888-1982) recounts her 1944 escape from the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp to Mandatory Palestine via ""Transport 222"", an exchange transport of 222 Jews for ""Aryan"" prisoners of war. 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 flightvia ""Transport 222"" to Palestine. Written immediately after her liberation in 1944, this unique document captures a little-known chapter of Holocaust history.
