Margarete Buber-Neumann was a member of the Communist Party of Germany during the Weimar Republic, experiencing profound political engagement. Her life was irrevocably marked by her survival of concentration camps under both Soviet and Nazi regimes during World War II. After the war, she penned a memoir detailing her harrowing experiences, offering a stark testament to human resilience. She also served as a crucial witness during the significant Kravchenko Affair trial in France.
Presents account by a survivor of both the Soviet and Nazi concentration camps. This book explores the behaviour of the guards, supervisors, police and secret police and compares and contrasts Stalin and Hitler's methods of dictatorship and terror.
Margarete Buber, the journalist daughter of Martin Buber, and Milena Jesenska, the beautiful lover of Kafka, met in Ravensbruck concentration camp in 1940. For four terrible years, the two women formed an extraordinary bond and made a pact that if only one survived, the other would bear witness. Only Margarete lived to remember. This is her story of Milena--of fearless love, sacrifice, and nobility.
