The Nazis Knew My Name is one woman's story about the bravery and
kindness shown by her mother in the Holocaust concentration camps.
In the camps during the Second World War, prisoner Magda Hellinger
Blau was selected by the SS as a Jewish prison leader and she
eventually rises to the senior position of Lageralteste (Camp
Elder). Madga used her proximity to her fellow prisoners and the SS
to engage in numerous acts of kindness, bravery and compassion to
keep the prisoners alive in frightening and uncertain
circumstances. Now, her daughter Maya Lee tells the definitive
story of her mother, a woman who showed great bravery and
compassion when stuck between worlds of authority and imprisonment.
Using her mother's short memoir as a starting point, this book is
Maya Lee's deep-dive into her mother's life and the power of
kindness in the face of adversity, as she connects with fellow
Auschwitz survivors and forms new friendships throughout her
journey. The Nazis Knew My Name is a poignant and personal
exploration of the prisoners in the Holocaust camps and the need to
still tell these stories almost 70 years on.
