Annotation

A resistance fighter's ';remarkable' memoir of her imprisonment at the infamous Nazi concentration camp (The New Yorker). Hanna Levy-Hass, a Yugoslavian Jew, emerged a defiant survivor of the Holocaust. Her observations shed new light on the lived experience of Nazi internment during World War II, and she stands alone as the only resistance fighter to report on her own experience inside the campsdoing so with unflinching clarity in dealing with the political and social divisions inside Bergen-Belsen. In this volume, her insightful diary is accompanied by an introduction from her daughter, Amira Hass, an Israeli journalist renowned for her reporting from the West Bank and Gaza. ';A poignant testimonial... Hanna Levy-Hass was clearly a quite extraordinary woman.'Tony Judt, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945
