Memories of Ordinary People

In this memoir, Kitia tells her own survival story and draws unforgettable portraits of forgotten individuals, both from her life prior to the war and several concentration camps. She writes: “For we who survived the greatest and most well-organised plan to annihilate a people – oblivion is the real death. Oblivion made the task of extermination easier”. We, the survivors, cannot afford to forget those who were once members of the community of men. It is the obligation of the living to provide a place and a name for the dead. Yad Vashem.
