Abstract:
Memoir by Annie Kamm, written in 1988. She describes her family history from the perspective of a journey to Poland with her brother Henri after the war. They visited the concentration camps in Poland where most of their family members died during the war. Their parents, born in Lublin (at that time in Russia, today in Poland), lived in Germany from 1919-1920, and then in Anvers, Belgium, where Annie Kamm (then Fanny Zorman) was born as the youngest of 7 siblings. She describes in detail the events between 1942 and 1945: hiding in Belgium, escape to France, capture by SS men when the family tried to cross the Swiss border, imprisonment in Montbeliard and in Belfort, transportation of her parents and siblings to the concentration camps in Auschwitz and Birkenau, her escape and life in hiding in Paris and Saint Cloud.
