"Gisella Perl's memoir is an extraordinarily candid account of women's extreme efforts to survive Auschwitz. It was the first memoir by a woman survivor and established the model for understanding the gendered Nazi policies and practices targeting Jewish women as racially poisonous. ..Includes the Nazis' Roma victims as well as the Nazi women guards as perpetrators. ...[She was] froced to assist Dr. Josef Mengele and us[ed] her position to save the lives of other women prisoners. These efforts, including infanticide and abortion, are topics that would remain silent for decades."-- Back cover
