Versklavung und Befreiung : jüdische Schicksale aus Ungarn als zeitgemässe Pessachgeschichten

Every year, for the Passover holiday, Ornstein wrote a story relating one of her experiences during the Holocaust. This is a compilation of some of those stories. She was born in 1927 in Szendro, Hungary. Ornstein's high school studies in Debrecen were interrupted by the German occupation in March 1944. Her two brothers were recruited for forced labor. In June 1944 she and her parents were deported to Auschwitz. She and her mother were sent to the Płaszów labor camp, and later to the Parschnitz labor camp, where they were liberated. They were the only members of their family who survived. After the war, Anna married Paul Ornstein, studied medicine in Heidelberg, and then immigrated to the USA, where she became a professor of child psychiatry. Ornstein does not mention her maiden name anywhere in the book. 1. Aufl. 118 pages : illustrations ; 21 cm
