"The story will bring tears to most listeners' eyes.Barbara Rosenblat's reading is
astoundingshe demonstrates her brilliance at bringing the written word to audio. When Rosenblat
reads Schneider's mother's words, the listener is chilled by the evil in her voice, and when she reads
Schneider's words, the listener feels the anger and confusion that permeate the book. Winner of the
AudioFile Earphones Award."AudioFile
"Rosenblat's narration captures the boastful, pitiable, and unrepentant mother in a matter-of-fact style
that is both chilling and disturbing."Booklist
Helga Schneider was four when her mother suddenly abandoned her family in Berlin in 1941. When
she next saw her mother, thirty years later, she learned the shocking reason why. Her mother had
joined the Nazi SS and had become a guard in the concentration camps, including Auschwitz, where
she was in charge of a "correction" unit and responsible for untold acts of torture.
Nearly thirty more years would pass before their second and final reunion, an emotional encounter in
Vienna where her ailing mother, then eighty-seven and unrepentant about her past, was living in a
nursing home. Let Me Go is the extraordinary account of that meeting and of their conversation,
which powerfully evokes the misery of obligation colliding with the inescapable horror of what her mother
has done.
