In 'Return to Birkenau', Ginette Kolinka, at 94 years old, decides to break her silence and return, both physically and mentally, to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, the concentration camp to which she was deported in 1944. This book narrates her deportation, the days she spent in the camp, and her return journey to Paris in 1945, where she reunited with her mother and sisters. Kolinka confronts the extermination camp, now transformed into a museum against oblivion, reflecting on memory, history, and how future generations appropriate it. This moving account is one of the few Holocaust testimonies written by a woman.
