Protective Custody: Prisoner 34042: A Holocaust Survivor

Protective Custody: Prisoner 34042: A Holocaust Survivor Memoir

Susan Cernyak-Spatz was born in Vienna in 1922. In the following twenty-three years she experienced many of the terrors of her fellow
European Jews: early Nazi oppression in Berlin; post-"Anschluss" Vienna; Nazi occupied Prague; and deportation to Theresienstadt in 1942. But the true
horrors of the Nazi "Final Solution" awaited her in Birkenau, the woman's concentration camp where she survived her internment, beginning in January, 1943, for two years. These months of hell were followed by a "Death March" and incarceration in Ravensbrck from which she and a group of fellow inmates walked away to freedom.

As Professor Emerita in German literature at UNC-Charlotte, Dr. Cernyak-Spatz continues to teach and to lecture about the Holocaust. This book is a rare firsthand testament of a Holocaust survivor. The audiobook version, narrated by the author, is now available on her website.
