Adieu Birkenau

Publisher Albin Michel
An emotional story of remembrance and humanity.

In April 1944, 19-year-old Ginette Kolinka was deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. Her father and brother were gassed immediately, while she was selected for hard labor and survived.
In October 2020, Ginette is 95 years old when she accompanies a group to Birkenau one last time. From this trip a comic book is born, wherein Ginette tells everything: how she lived before the war, how she discovered she was Jewish, how her family fled Paris, what life was like in the camp. She narrates it all with vivacity and her sometimes biting humor.
