This is one of the most remarkable Holocaust memoirs ever written. It is the story of a young man who endured the full brunt of Nazi horror.
He lived to tell the tale not only of the Lodz ghetto and Auschwitz-Birkenau (where his parents perished in the gas chambers) but of a further three concentration camps - Althammer, Dora and Bergen-Belsen. He survived it all, but his brother was murdered, as were six million of his people.
Abraham Biderman has written his book to keep a promise to his mother. 'Remember, remember what they did to us!' were her last words to him.
In turn, he hopes that The World of My Past will serve as a legacy for future generations to learn about and remember what happened to humanity in the middle of the twentieth century.
The World of My Past is a riveting personal testimony and a searing indictment of those who perpetrated and acquiesced in some of the most hideous events in human history.
