After Auschwitz is a stunning account of Eva Schloss’ life from her formative years pre-second world war to surviving Auschwitz, and then later her work with the Anne Frank Foundation. Admiringly honest and terribly shocking, this memoir reveals the tragedies that Schloss endured, and how she managed to re-claim her life afterwards. In a tone that’s frank and heartbreakingly honest, her journey is a lesson of hope and perseverance, even in the darkest hours.
After Auschwitz, Eva Schloss, $22. Available at Indigo.ca and Amazon.ca.
