"The Road to Auschwitz" is the autobiography of Hedi Fried, a
fifteen-year-old living in Sighet, Romania, when war breaks out in
1939. In March 1944, Hedi's family, along with three thousand other
Jews from her village, are confined to a ghetto, awaiting shipment
to Auschwitz. In Auschwitz, amidst the horror, Hedi turns twenty,
her sister, Livi, fifteen. As Hedi and Livi will later learn, their
parents do not survive.
In April 1945, the sisters are transported to Bergen-Belsen, two
months before liberation. Upon liberation, Hedi renews her
acquaintance with Michael, another survivor from Sighet. They move
to Sweden, marry, and eventually have three sons. It is the loss of
Michael, when Hedi is only forty, that prompts this memoir. "It
took me forty years to realize that I am a witness and that it is
my task to tell what I experienced."
