Description

The book is a glimpse into the life of Gerda Klein, and into the thoughts that have at all times vindicated her belief that the most treasured place on the earth is home, and that the most beautiful and desirable aim for people is to spend “an uneventful evening” there with family

“I have been in a place for six implausible years, where winning meant a crust of bread and to live some other day. For the reason that blessed day of my liberation I have asked the question, Why am I here?…
In my mind’s eye I see those years and faces of those who never knew the magic of an uneventful evening at home. On their behalf I need to thank you for honoring their memory, and you can’t do that in a better way than whilst you return to your homes tonight to realize that each and every of you who knows the joy of freedom is a winner. On their behalf I need to thank you with all my heart.”
— Remarks by Gerda Weissmann Klein, accepting the Oscar for the documentary One Survivor Remembers, at the Sixty-eighth Annual Academy Awards in 1996
