Before WWII there was a thriving Jewish community of some 50,000
people in Thessaloniki, Greece. In 1943, under Nazi occupation,
virtually the entire community was deported to Auschwitz
extermination camp. That the author, Erika Amariglio, and several
members of her family survived is due only to a series of
coincidences, including the fact that they were on the first
transport ot Auschwitz and that they spoke fluent German. Erika
Amariglio's story covers the period before the war in Thessaloniki,
the German occupation and the gradual tightening of restrictions,
the transportation, the two-and-a-half years spent in Auschwitz,
the long death march back to Germany, the Amariglio family's escape
to Yugoslavia, and their eventual reunion of the family in Greece.
It concludes with the author's return to Auschwitz many years later
as a delegate to an international conference on the Holocaust. This
book has been previously published in Greek, German, French and
Serbian.
