註釋Memoirs of a Jewish woman, born Alicia Sturm, in Kielce, Poland, in 1922. Pp. 145-405 relate her experiences in the Holocaust. Describes the anti-Jewish laws, which affected the career of her father, Eisig Sturm, who was a doctor; later he was arrested and shot. Describes life in the Kielce ghetto, where her uncle, Moshe Peltz, was the president of the Jewish Council; he refused to cooperate with the Germans, resigned, and was deported to Auschwitz. In August 1942 the ghetto was liquidated; Birnhak remained in a smaller ghetto with ca. 800 Jews who worked in a nearby labor camp. In August 1944 she was deported to Auschwitz, and in November to the Malchow labor camp, via Ravensbrück. In April 1945 she and other inmates were transported to Sweden by the Red Cross; eventually, she emigrated to the USA.
