For 40 years, French Holocaust survivor, Sam Braun, remained silent about what he went through as a teenager in Auschwitz and during the 1945 Nazi Death March. He didn’t even tell his own children about his horrific experiences. But, from the 1990s until his death in 2011, he broke his silence to pursue a major ‘work of remembrance’, talking to thousands of students about the barbarity he witnessed and the lessons he learned.

This book is the transcript of an extraordinarily candid series of interviews Sam gave to philosophy teacher, Stéphane Guinoiseau. In Not a Soul Would have Believed Me, So I Kept Quiet, Sam shares his story and his message of respect and faith in humankind to provide hope for a peaceful future.

The paperback edition is available through online retailers.
