In this vivid memoir originally published in German, Anne Groschler (1888-1982) recounts her 1944 escape from the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp to Mandatory Palestine via “Transport 222”, an exchange transport of 222 Jews for “Aryan" prisoners of war. In the most detailed contribution of the exchange ever published, Groschler paints an authentic picture of life before WWII amongst the upper echelons of German society, her ultimate persecution and escape to Holland where she was betrayed, the horrors of life in the Westerbork and Bergen-Belsen camps, and her eventual flight via "Transport 222" to Palestine. Written immediately after her liberation in 1944, this unique document captures a little-known chapter of Holocaust history.

Anne Groschler (1888-1982) was born in the small town of Jever in northern Germany. Once amongst the upper echelons of German society, she was ultimately persecuted as a Jew and escaped to Holland until she was betrayed and sent to Westerbork and Bergen-Belsen camps. She eventually fled to Palestine via "Transport 222", a German prisoner exchange transport.
