She spent most of the war in Budapest, and remembers life in Hungary in 1944, enduring antisemitic persecution. She was ordered to perform forced labor and describes witnessing a mass shooting. She was then turned over to the Germans and deported, first to Buchenwald, then to Ravensbrück, and from there to Burgau. The memoir is incomplete.
