Thirty years later-- when she saw her mother again for the first time-- Schneider discovered the shocking reason: Her mother had joined the Nazi SS and had become a guard in concentration camps, including Auschwitz-Birkenau and Ravensbrück, where she was in charge of a \"correction\" unit and responsible for untold acts of torture.Nearly three more decades would pass before their second and final reunion, an emotional encounter at a Vienna nursing home, where her mother, then eighty-seven and unrepentant about her past, was ailing. Let Me Go is an extraordinary account of that meeting. Their conversation-- which Schneider recounts in spellbinding detail-- triggers childhood memories, and she weaves these into her account, powerfully evoking the misery of Nazi and postwar Berlin. Yet it is her internal struggle-- a daughter's sense of obligation colliding with the inescapable horror of what her mother has done-- that will stay with readers long after the book has ended.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Helga Schneider","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53096913141984,"sku":"9780802714350","price":83.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/71q5MBu_uqL._SY522.jpg?v=1781681423","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/let-me-go","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
