Abstract "A collection of poetry from the Theresienstadt ghetto leads the author to uncover the remarkable story of Holocaust survivor Else Dormitzer. Originally from Nuremberg, Germany, Dormitzer dedicated much of her life to combating antisemitism in a city that became synonymous with Nazi propaganda and spectacle in the Third Reich. Drawing on materials from the family's extensive personal archive, the book traces her life from pre-war Nuremberg to war-torn Amsterdam, from the confines of the Theresienstadt ghetto to post-war life in London. The result is a deeply personal story of a woman at the margin of memory. Accompanied by historical photographs, the book includes Dormitzer's original poetry collection from Theresienstadt and three testimonial accounts of her Holocaust experience"-- Provided by publisher.
