520 "A work of both childhood memory and adult reflection
undergirded with scholarly research, A Final Reckoning
resonates with emotional intensity and insight. Ruth
Gutmann's memoir, first published in Germany in 2002,
recounts her life not only as a concentration camp inmate
and survivor, but also as a sister and daughter. Ruth; her
twin sister, Eva; stepmother, Mania; and father, Samuel
Herskovits, were interned in both Thereisenstadt and
Auschwitz-Birkenau between June 1943 and March 1944, where
all but Gutmann and her sister perished. Ruth and Eva
spent the remainder of the war in numerous other camps.
Gutmann's memoir is compelling in several respects. It
spans her birth and early life in Hannover, Germany; her
escape to Holland on a kindertransport; her forced return
to Hannover; her deportation to the concentration camps
(where Ruth and Eva attracted the attention of Josef
Mengele, though they were ultimately spared from his
murderous studies of twin siblings); and her life
postliberation. Particularly striking is Gutmann's
portrait of her father, Samuel, a leader in the Jewish
community of Hannover who was forced under extreme
pressure to communicate and, in some cases, cooperate with
Nazi officials. Gutmann uses her own memories as well as
years of reflection and academic study to reevaluate his
role in their community. A Final Reckoning provides not
only insights into Gutmann's own experience as a child in
the midst of the atrocities of the Holocaust, but also a
window into the lives of those, like her father, who were
forced to carry on and comply with the regime that would
ultimately bring about their demise"--|cProvided by
