Death and Love in the Holocaust : The Story of Sonja and Kurt Messerschmidt, Hardback Book

Death and Love in the Holocaust : The Story of Sonja and Kurt Messerschmidt Hardback

Hardback

Description

Kurt and Sonja Messerschmidt met in Nazi Berlin, married in the Theresienstadt ghetto, and survived Auschwitz.

In this book, they tell their intertwined stories in their own words.

The text directly expresses their experiences, reactions, and emotions.

The reader moves with them through the stages of their Holocaust journeys: persecution in Berlin, deportation to Theresienstadt and then to Auschwitz, slave labor, liberation, reunion, and finally emigration to the US.

Kurt and Sonja saw the death of Jews every day for two years, but they never stopped creating their own lives.

The spoken words of these survivors create a uniquely direct relationship with the reader, as if this couple were telling their story in their living room.
