The memoir describes the living conditions, illnesses and deaths in the ghetto. She also recalls religious celebrations and cultural activities. The mass deportation of Jews from Lodz in September 1942 is described. Ruth's son Michael was exampted due to her husband's interventions. Ruth's mother, who was with them in the ghetto, died in 1943. In 1944 the famly was deported to Auschwitz and Stutthof. The living conditions of these camps are described. Ruth was transported to a work camp in Dresden, and was in the city during its destruction in February 1945. After the destruction of the city Ruth was transferred to a series of concentration camps, finally escaping on a death march. She was liberated by American soldiers in May 1945. In 1946 she was reunited with her son Michael, who had survived the Stutthof concentration camp.

Abstract: The author Hertha Vogelstein is the grand-daughter of Heinemann Vogelstein. He was born in the rural community of Lage. Heinemann was an excellent student and was sent to the gymnasium (high school) in Detmold. Due to his outstanding talent he was granted a scholarship of the State of Lippe to study theology at the Jewish seminary in Breslau. He became a rabbi in Pilsen (in 1869) and Stettin (in 1880). Heinemann Vogelstein married his student love Rosa Kobrack in 1869. His first born son Hermann, the author's father, followed in his footsteps as a rabbi in Koenigsberg. Heinemann Vogelstein was a leading personality in liberal Judaism and among the founders of the Association of Liberal Rabbis in Germany. He faced fervent opposition by orthodox rabbis for the publication of a German translation of the Hebrew prayer book.
