About this listen
Finally, she spoke, her voice barely above a whisper.
'Do not cry when I die.'
'Quite simply the most important book you will read this year' Hazel Gaynor
'An extraordinary read' Lorraine Kelly
'Deeply moving' Daily Mail
From invasion to liberation, September 1939 to April 1945, as Renee was marched from ghetto to camp, there was one constant. One hand that clutched hers - her mother's. Every day for nearly six years, mother and daughter were bound together in hell. From Auschwitz-Birkenau to Bergen-Belsen, they were a powerful source of solace and hope for one another.
The strength of Sala's love gave them both something fragile yet beautiful to cling to in an ugly, depraved world. It was her mother who hid Renee, lied to the SS, went right when she was directed left - whose small actions had life-saving consequences. Now, for Renee, the need to share has finally overcome the desire to forget.
A Mother's Promise is a love letter to a mother eighty years in the making.

Essential listening
Renee Salt's testimony is incredibly moving. Her stories of pre-war Jewish life in her hometown highlight all that was lost and destroyed. Her memories of her wartime experiences are accompanied by commentary from the writer which help to contextualise events. I particularly enjoyed learning of Renee's post war life. She continues to share her story with people around the world.
