Product Details
The Auschwitz Journal is written by Klára Kardos once she returned to Hungary after the war. The Auschwitz Journal covers when Nazi Germany occupied Hungary in March 1944 and violent persecution of the Jews began. Hundreds of thousands of Jewish people were taken to concentration camps. It did not help Klára Kardos, author of The Auschwitz Journal, that she was Catholic: because of her Jewish background. She was also taken to Auschwitz in June of 1944 at the age of 24.
The Auschwitz Journal is the story of how at the camp, younger women were not killed. They were taken to ammunition factories to do forced labor which is what happened to Klára as The Auschwitz Journal outlines. Klara survived the horror of death camps and was liberated in May 1945. Years after her return to Hungary, at the request of her friends, she wrote down her camp experiences in a small book in the Hungarian language. The Auschwitz Journal is her story.
Klára Kardos was born a Hungarian Catholic woman of Jewish background in 1920 and died in 1984. Her parents were Jewish but her mother converted to Catholicism before Klára was born, and Klára was baptized Catholic as a baby. She never married. She was an extraordinary individual, bright and well educated; she spoke several languages and wrote in Hungarian in a beautiful literary style. After her liberation from the concentration camp, for years she lived in communist Hungary. During the 1970s, she immigrated into neighboring Austria and there she dedicated her life to the service of the Catholic Church by writing, translating, editing religious literature.
