But You Did Not Come Back

A runaway bestseller in France, But You Did Not Come Back is the breathtaking, deeply moving and critically acclaimed memoir of a survivor of the Holocaust.

Marceline Loridan-Ivens was just fifteen when she and her father were arrested and sent to concentration camps. He prepared her for the worst, telling her that he would not return. The three kilometres between her father in Auschwitz and herself in Birkenau were an insurmountable distance, and yet he managed to send her a small note via an electrician in the camp - a sign of life.
