About this title

Synopsis

The Holocaust. For years this word has evoked images of gas chambers, crematoria, senseless killings, and feelings of despair, sorrow and terror.

How could a human being emerge from the depths of hell called Auschwitz and still believe in love and the beauty of humanity in this world?

This is the story of my mother-in-law, Ruth Bindefeld Neray, who was a young girl in Paris in the 1930′s. It is also the story of Ruth’s deportation as a teenager to Auschwitz in the winter of 1944.

What makes this personal account extraordinary is Ruth’s ability to maintain her self-esteem in the face of abject humiliation and unrelenting cruelty. She sees herself as someone caught in a web of events that she cannot control. Yet, in spite of the fear and danger, Ruth believes that she is the master of her own integrity.

Ruth’s love of life itself, her sense that she is entitled to live, as well as many strokes of good luck, kept her alive through these unimaginable times.

Ruth intimately shares with us how she sustained hope and dignity. Her candor and insightfulness offer us a glimpse into her life then and a sense of her journey forward, reconciling her past and building a life filled with love, family and purpose.
