‘The capital’s picturesque buildings and its hundred spires rearing up towards the sky were surrounded by peace and darkness, unaware of the thousand souls for whom this hour meant the beginnings of a journey into the unknown.’

‘Among the thousand little specks weighed down by heavy loads, struggling against the weather and darkness, making their way from all corners of the city to a strange meeting place, were three silent figures: a man, a woman and a young girl.’

Turned down by publishers at the time she wrote in the wake of her experience in Nazi occupied Europe, for fifty years Edith Hofmann’s book has lain gathering dust, waiting to be read. Her story is a novel, but its not a fiction. It is raw and aching testimony both to her survival, and her bid to survive survival. You will be moved. Not only by what she has written, but by the fact that she wrote it all.
