English abstract
This book contains the previously unpublished yet compelling memoir by the French-American Auschwitz survivor, Yvonne Redgis. Originally written in both French and English, the French text is edited here, together with a substantial commentary (pp. 125-165); research uncovered photographs to illustrate the book. The commentary argues that although there are many features shared with other memoirs, that by Redgis is distinctive in the way it embeds her time in prison in France and in Auschwitz in a career spanning both pre-war and post-war periods and that its restrained tone is characterized by acute observation.
