Tatae’s Promise: You will live… you will tell is based on eleven audio tapes recorded by Hinda Mondlak Goldman, the mother of co-author Moises J. Goldman, in the months prior to her death in 1985. Speaking in Yiddish and Spanish, Hinda chronicles her torture at the hands of the Nazis, her escape from Auschwitz, her subsequent travails, her fear of Nazis and Russian soldiers, her search for true love, and her immigration to Mexico City.

Rich in history, this book does not shy away from describing the heinous atrocities and despicable living conditions that were forced upon Hinda and millions of people—Jews, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Romani people, and homosexuals—under the reign of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi regime. Six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. That reflects the number of those accounted for and does not include the millions of Jews who were persecuted and displaced. The estimated total killed by the Nazi regime nears fourteen million.
