Summary

It is June 1, 1945, as Anna Hegedüs writes her memoir from her hometown of Szatmár, Hungary. She has survived the ghetto―the prologue to her Greek tragedy; survived Auschwitz―the first act; the horrific Schlesiersee camp―the second act; and a death march―the brutal third and final act. It is there, however, that Anna was separated from her daughter, Agnes, and now, as she writes with her memories so raw, she waits desperately for Agnes’s return
