Description
By the time the Nazis had overrun Eta Fuchs's village of Tasnad, they had developed a system of "murder by bureaucracy," routinely processing Jewish communities for destruction, singling out strong workers and efficiently killing everyone else. When soldiers herded the Tasnad Jews into boxcars, Eta Fuchs was twenty-one. Four years later, she arrived in Canada with her husband Myer Berkowitz, a survivor of the slaughter in Poland. She had seen her entire family gassed at Auschwitz, clung to life in a slave labour factory, and endured the miseries of a German camp for stateless refugees.
About the author
Eta Fuchs Berk is a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp where she lost several of her family members. For over forty years, she didn’t talk about her experiences but, compelled by Holocaust denial in Canada, she has decided to tell the whole story.
