In this powerful memoir, the author describes her relationship and final encounter with her mother, who abandoned the family 56 years earlier to pursue a career with the SS culminating in a position as a guard at Auschwitz.
Unforgettable and deeply arresting, Let Me Go is a haunting memoir of World War II that won t let you go until you ve finished reading the last page (The Washington Post Book World). In 1941, in Berlin, Helga Schneider s mother abandoned her along with her father and younger brother. Let Me Go recounts Helga s final meeting with her ailing mother in a Vienna nursing home some sixty years after World War II, in which Helga confronts a nightmare: her mother s lack of repentance about her past as a Nazi SS guard at concentration camps, including Auschwitz, where she was responsible for untold acts of torture. With spellbinding detail, Schneider recalls their conversation, evoking her own struggle between a daughter s sense of obligation and the inescapable horror of her mother s deeds.
