Helen Lewis, a young student of dance in Prague at the outbreak of WW2 was herded into the Terezin ghetto. Then she was shipped to Auschwitz, in 1942.
Separated from her family, she struggled to survive amidst the carnage of The Final Solution.
How she did so, and what she did in order to survive, is a gripping story, told with wit, candour, and controlled anger.
A Time to Speak is an elegant memoir of the Holocaust, humbling in its freedom from bitterness, which will leave no reader unmoved.
Our edition features a fitting foreword by Jennifer Johnston.
