Poland, 1944 The train slowed and halted with a squeal of the
breaks. It felt like we waited in the carriage for an eternity, but
eventually, the heavy doors opened, directly into the chaos inside.
Sara Leibovitz, a 16-year-old Jewish girl, was a passenger on the
train with her family. They spent their final moments together on
the platform in Auschwitz before their horrific fates were sealed.
Sara’s mother and baby brothers were sent straight to their
deaths. Her father was made to work in the Sonderkommando as one of
the men forced to remove the bodies from the gas chambers, and was
later executed. Sara survived. This is the powerful true story of
Sara Leibovits and the incredible pain and hardships she went
through during her time in the death camp. Yet despite the horrors
she faced, she always tried to maintain her family’s values of
courage, faith and kindness to others. In this compelling memoir,
Sara’s story is intertwined with that of her daughter, Eti.
Seventy years after the horrors of the Holocaust, Eti reveals the
inherited trauma of the second generation and completes the
Holocaust survivor’s tale.
