Description

NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD FINALIST - Irene Butter's memoir of her experiences before, during and after the Holocaust is not a recounting of misery and tragedy; rather it is the genuine story of a girl coming to terms with a terrible event and choosing to view herself as a survivor instead of a victim.

When the Dutch police knock on their door, Irene and her family are forced to leave their home and board trains meant for cattle.

They are taken to Nazi-controlled prison camps and finally to Bergen-Belsen, where Irene is a fellow prisoner with Anne Frank.

With limited access to food, shelter, and warm clothing, Irene's family needs nothing short of a miracle to survive.

Irene's memoir tells the story of her experiences as a young girl before, during, and after the Holocaust, highlighting how her family was part of the Jewish exchange and came to terms with the catastrophe and how she, over time, came to view herself as a survivor rather than a victim.

Throughout the book, her first-person account celebrates the love and empathy that can persist even in the most inhumane conditions.

Irene's words send a poignant message against hate at a time when anti-Semitic, fascist and xenophobic movements around the globe are experiencing a resurgence.

Irene, through her book, reminds us of the impact one person can have in choosing to follow the mantra, 'never a bystander' - a phrase she adopted only 33 years ago, after her own voice was silenced by her cousins in the years after the Holocaust.

Now, Irene Hasenberg Butter is a well-known inspirational speaker on her experiences during World War II.
