One of the oldest living Holocaust survivors recounts her family's imprisonment at Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen in this moving memoir of love, loss, courage, and hope.

A deeply moving memoir, beautifully written and researched. --Lucy Adlington, New York Times bestselling author of The Dressmakers of Auschwitz

I only survived because of my mother's love.

When German soldiers invaded Poland in September 1939, it began a six year journey for then-ten-year-old Renee Salt and her mother Sala. Until their liberation in 1945, Renee and Sala were imprisoned in ghettos and concentration camps, including Auschwitz-Birkenau and Bergen-Belsen. The only light in the darkness and brutality for Renee was the unwavering grasp of her mother's hand in hers-enduring, against all odds.

It was this unbreakable bond, along with a few miracles, that kept Renee alive. Sala's staggering courage to defy the will of SS guards saved both her and her daughter from the gas chambers, and the pair survived the deadliest days in Auschwitz's history.

After suffering the nightmarish conditions at Bergen-Belsen, Renee and her mother were liberated in April 1945-but Sala died soon after they were saved. To this day, Renee attributes her survival to the love and bravery of her beloved mother.

Do Not Cry When I Die is an incredibly moving and deeply crucial book that tells the shocking story of one of the oldest Auschwitz-Birkenau and Bergen-Belsen survivors-and the mother's love that saved her life.
