I Want to Speak: The Tragedy and Banality of Survival in Terezin and Auschwitz By Margareta Glas-Larsson, Edited and with Commentary by Gerhard Botz, Translation by Lowell A. Bangerter

Margareta Glas-Larsson's revealing autobiographical account, essentially an oral history, traces her life from her arrest in Prague in 1941 to her incarceration in the prison of Theresienstadt and subsequently in the concentration camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau, where she owed her ability to survive to her unbending will, her unquenchable positive attitude, and to her training as a cosmetician.

The historian Gerhard Botz analyzes Glas-Larsson's oral report and in his detailed commentary provides a comprehensive study of the dynamics and psychology of life in a concentration camp.
