«Nicht ohne meine Tochter» is the autobiographical account by Betty Mahmoody and William Hoffer, published by Bastei Lübbe in paperback (543 pages, in German).
Betty Mahmoody travels to Iran with her young daughter and her Iranian husband for a two-week vacation, but what was meant to be a brief stay turns into a trap: her husband changes his attitude, mistreats them and locks them up, refusing to allow their return to the United States. When Betty manages to contact the Swiss embassy, she discovers that she could only leave the country without her daughter, something she is not willing to accept.
It is the first installment of the «Not Without My Daughter» series and was published in 1990 as a translation of the original English work of 1987, with the German translation by Herlind Grau and Klara D. Klein.
For readers interested in autobiographies, memoirs and real-life survival testimonies.
Betty Mahmoody is an American author and public speaker. In 1984, during a visit to Iran with her husband and daughter, he refused to let them return to the United States, holding them captive in Iran and subjecting them to constant abuse until she escaped with her daughter to Turkey in 1986. After she and her daughter returned to the US and after her divorce to Moody, she garnered media attention in 1987 when she published Not Without My Daughter, a memoir recounting her captivity in Iran. MGM-Pathé Communications adapted her memoir into a film in 1991.
