Book summary

A best-seller in the German original, this translation of Kluger's unflinching memoir about growing up Jewish during the Holocaust documents the transformation of her family from middle-class members of Vienna's lively Jewish community to inmates at Auschwitz. A professor and a scholar of German literature, Kluger brings her talent as a critic to bear on the events of her own life as she tackles the formidable task of presenting Holocaust victims as real, flawed, sometimes difficult human beings. In Kluger's case, she lost a brother, her sometimes cruel father, and a detested great-aunt, and escaped to America with her unstable, manipulative mother. Kluger writes honestly about these people, about her harrowing experiences in the camps--and about her own difficult self as well.
