A unique, deeply political survivor's diary from the final year inside the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.

Levy-Hass stands alone as the only resistance fighter to record on her own experience inside the camps, and she does so with unflinching clarity and attention to the political and social divisions inside Bergen Belsen.
