Author Notes:Ruth Kluger was born in Vienna in 1931. In 1942, on the verge of her eleventh birthday, she was deported to the Jewish "ghetto" Theresienstadt. She would survive Auschwitz-Birkenau and the work camp Christianstadt before the war ended. After spending two years in occupied Germany, she emigrated in 1947 to the United States, where she graduated from Hunter College, earned a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, and went on to become a distinguished professor of German. Now professor emerita at the University of California, Irvine, she is the author of five volumes of German literary criticism and a frequent guest professor at the University of Gottingen. Her memoir, published in Germany in 1992 and subsequently translated into Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish, Czech, and Japanese, has won eight German literary awards and France's prestigious Prix Memoire de la Shoah. She lives in Irvine, California
