This memoir was written with great affection for Rella Roth, a beautiful, strong woman. Rella was nervous that people would read her memoir and not believe her story, fearing that it might be impossible to imagine human beings capable of such cruelty towards one another. Her sole wish was to tell the youth of today about the events that transpired under Adolf Hitler’s Reich.

Thank you, Rella, for sharing your memories and time. Additional appreciation is extended to members of the Roth family for providing family photographs and insights.

Dedicated to the memory of Rella Ehrlich Roth
