Till First Morning Light is an autobiographical novel by a survivor
of the Holocaust, the core of which is fact within a novelistic
style. The story takes place in three countries Hungary, Austria
and Germany during the years of Nazi rule. The story depicts a
cross-section of Hungarian Jewry, whose bitter fate ended one year
after the battle of Stalingrad and three months before the invasion
of Normandy by the Allied forces. Lyrically told, the story moves
forwards and backwards associative and not chronological, the past
and the present mixed together. The book expresses the meeting
between Holocaust and humor. The characters are honest and innocent
people, happy and angry, who quarrel and conciliate, love and
marry, laugh and joke, up until the final moments of their lives.
They are people plucked from their homes, from their work, from
their children and their schools, the flames of their lives
extinguished before their time. Between all the characters and the
plot there is a principal character, the mother of the narrator.
With her courage, her desire to live and her love for family she
succeeds in bringing her children to the shores of safety, even if
the father of the family remains behind in the death camp
Bergen-Belsen. Time after time she confronts the angel of death.
She prevails throughout all these confrontations and the angel of
death withdraws.
