Poland, 1944. The train slowed and halted with a squeal of the breaks. It felt like we waited in the carriage for an eternity, but eventually, the heavy doors opened, directly into the chaos inside. Sara Leibovitz, a 16-year-old Jewish girl, was a passenger on the train with her family. They spent their final moments together on the platform in Auschwitz before their horrific fates were sealed. Sara’s mother and baby brothers were sent straight to their deaths.

Poland, 1944. The train slowed and halted with a squeal of the brakes. It felt like we waited in the carriage for an eternity, but eventually, the heavy doors opened, directly into the chaos outside. Sara Leibovits, a 16-year-old Jewish girl, was a passenger on the train, together with her family. Within minutes, their horrific fate was sealed. The little family spent their final minutes together on the platform at Auschwitz before they were ordered in all directions and each left to their own fate.

Prachtige, hartverscheurende memoires over de Holocaust, waarin Sara Leibovits en haar dochter Eti Elboim samen vertellen hoe Sara als jong meisje Auschwitz wist te overleven, als enige van haar hele familie. De trein kwam langzaam tot stilstand met piepende remmen. Het was donderdagochtend 18 mei 1944. Al sinds maandag hadden we in de duisternis en smerigheid van de veewagon opeengepakt gezeten en hongergeleden. Onze reisgenoten waren tranen, beklemming en onze angst voor het onbekende geweest. Het zestienjarige Joodse meisje Sara Leibovits zat samen met haar familie in deze trein.
