"We, girls in Auschwitz" by Andra and Tatiana Bucci

When Andra and Tatiana were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1944, they were only four and six years old. Together, the sisters talk about what they had to experience: the cold, the hunger, playing in the mud and snow, the many dead bodies and the constantly smoking chimney. Their cousin Sergio was initially housed in the same children's block, but was then sent to Neuengamme concentration camp near Hamburg. He is one of the twenty murdered children from Bullenhuser Damm.

In their moving memoir, the 80-year-olds also talk about the post-war period in the English children's home, being reunited with their parents and dealing with the burden of their experiences. - An important testimony by two of the few who survived the Holocaust as children, and a strong voice in times of a shift to the right in Europe.
