«Retour à Birkenau» is the Holocaust testimony of Ginette Kolinka and Marion Ruggieri, published by Grasset in paperback (112 pages, in French).
Arrested by the Gestapo in March 1944 with her father, her younger brother and her nephew, Ginette Kolinka was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau; she would be the only one to return. She recounts what she lived through in the camps —beatings, hunger, cold, cruelty and sometimes fraternity— and remembers Simone Veil and Marceline Loridan-Ivens, companions on that convoy.
Published on 9 May 2019, it is part of Grasset's Documents Français collection; the account is written with the collaboration of Marion Ruggieri.
For readers of history and Holocaust testimonies; the author narrates her experience in French classrooms to preserve the memory of Birkenau.
