Advance Praise

From Auschwitz with Love is the story of the love between two sisters that emerged from a realm in which everything conspired against any such love. It is introspective and penetrating, taking the reader into the souls of the survivors of the Event and its aftermath, into the souls that were themselves the target of the Nazi evil. While the books historical detail alone marks it as an invaluable contribution to Holocaust studies, its testimony to the dearness of human life threatened by the Holocaust makes it even more so. Indeed, with his elegance of style Daniel Seymour weaves a personal tale that transcends the history to take us into the depth dimension of the Shoah.

David Patterson, Hillel A. Feinberg Professor of Holocaust Studies, University of Texas at Dallas

From Auschwitz with Love is a fascinating book about the life stories of Manci and Ruth Grunberger. It is the story of the Holocaust, survival and rescue. At the same time, this is also the story of infinite love between two sisters. The love shapes who they become as individuals and gives them the strength to survive Auschwitz, cope with the rescue and temporary stay in Sweden, and with challenges of building new lives in the US. This well-written book is both captivating and insightful, and, as such, it is an important new contribution to Holocaust studies.

Manci and Ruth Grunbergers life story is fascinating, poignant, and convincing. It captivates the reader and historians will relish the details associated with their early lives in Mukacevo, Czechoslovakia. Their bond was unbreakable.

From Auschwitz with Love is a captivating and compelling account of the lives of two loving and devoted sisters ranging from their happy childhoods in eastern Europe to their terrifying Holocaust experiences that sought to systematically rob them of their humanity to the successful and fulfilling lives they built for themselves in the United States. The sisters' honest, moving and detailed first person memoirs, accompanied by helpful historical contextualization and illuminating photographs, are skilfully and insightfully interwoven to produce a praiseworthy work. Its account of victimization, human endurance and resilience, coping with trauma, deep and lasting friendships and sibling love should not be forgotten.

From Auschwitz with Love is an intimate glimpse into the lives of two remarkable young women. Other than the Diary of Anne Frank which chronicles events as they happen, this book is unique from many other accounts as so much of this was captured in diary form by the two sisters just after they were liberated. Thus, many of the experiences they relay are fresh, vivid, and raw in their intensity. From Auschwitz with Love is an account that will live in history and a story that will never be forgotten. In capturing this story, Daniel Seymour has given the world a beautiful gift.

Interwoven between the juxtaposing chapters is accurate historical information, so that the reader can put their experiences in context. What unfolds is an immersive read, and a real page-turner as the reader relives their hopes, dreams and fears.

This book offers a valuable and well-documented testimony. It portrays the struggles and achievements of two sisters who survived internment in the Auschwitz extermination camp. How could they summon the strength to start anew when their whole family was murdered? An essential emotional resource in their resilient process was their sisterly bond of love. Their gripping path demonstrates that human beings cannot be defined by the tragedy that fell upon them, but rather by how they responded to adversity. From Auschwitz with Love by Daniel Seymour is a skilfully woven narrative that sheds light on the coping mechanisms used by Manci and Ruthie to rebuild successful, yet dramatically contrasted lives.

This inspiring memoir of two sisters survival, devotion, success, and love is an authentic and an important contribution to giving women their voices. Daniel Seymour used their own words to write this book, which also includes his own short but scholarly background texts that give the sisters testimony historical context. From Auschwitz with Love is, indeed, a love story between Manci and Ruth Grunberger.

Rochelle Saidel, Founder and Executive Director, Remember the Women Institute and author of The Jewish Women of Ravensbrck Concentration Camp

Daniel Seymour writes an eye-opening and painfully insightful book peering into the personal lives of Manci and Ruth Grunberger, two teenaged sisters, trapped in Hitlers death camps, who endured the horrors of the Holocaust and survived. This story will grip your heart, make you angry, and show you the true meaning of love. I highly recommend From Auschwitz with Love.

Denise George, co-author of The Secret Holocaust Diaries

This fast-paced narrative is driven by the memoirs and reflections of the women themselves, which were collected by author Daniel Seymour, who also introduces the book and provides historical background throughout. As the number of survivors decrease, From Auschwitz with Love reminds us anew of hope, dedication, loyalty and heroism of Ruthie and Manci and the other survivors. Their stories will continue to inspire us.

Paul Radensky, Senior Director for Education, Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust

As teenagers in Auschwitz, sisters Manci and Ruthie were forced to sort the personal belongings of newly-arrived Jews while hearing the screams and pounding of walls from gas chambers nearby. Thanks to family encouragement, Manci's son-in-law Daniel Seymour took on writing their story. The result is a compilation of first-person interviews, memoir and diary entries with historical detail that provides a well-documented and poignant telling of two remarkable lives.
