On a quiet winter night in 1944, as part of their support of the
Third Reich's pogrom of European Jews, French authorities arrested
Ida Grinspan, a young Jewish girl hiding in a neighbor's home in
Nazi-occupied France. Of the many lessons she would learn after her
arrest and the subsequent year and a half in Auschwitz, the most
notorious concentration camp of the Holocaust, the first was that
""barbarity enters on tiptoes . . . [even] in a hamlet where
everything seemed to promise the peaceful slumber of places
forgotten by history."" Translated by Charles B. Potter, You've Got
to Tell Them is the result of a friendship that formed in 1988,
when Grinspan returned to visit Auschwitz for the first time since
1945 and where she met Bertrand Poirot-Delpeche, a distinguished
writer for the Paris newspaper Le Monde. Sometimes speaking alone,
sometimes speaking in close alternation, Grinspan and
Poirot-Delpeche simultaneously narrate the story of her survival
and the decades that followed, including how she began lecturing in
schools and guiding groups that visited the death camps. Replete
with pedagogical resources including a discussion of how and why
the Holocaust should be taught, a timeline, and suggestions for
further reading, Potter's expert translation of You've Got to Tell
Them showcases a clear and moving narrative of a young French girl
overcoming one of the darkest periods in her life and in European
history.
