Else Moltke (1888-1986), dansk forfatter.

Willy Blum war sechzehn Jahre alt, als er in Auschwitz-Birkenau ermordet wurde. Von ihm blieb nur ein Name auf einer Liste, neben dem durchgestrichenen Namen Jerzy Zweigs, der durch Bruno Apitz' Roman "Nackt unter Wölfen" weltberühmt wurde.

Annette Leo hat sich auf die Suche gemacht und erzählt die Geschichte der Familie Blum und zugleich auch die Geschichte des Verschweigens einer Opfergruppe in der Nachkriegszeit: die der Sinti und Roma.

"Es war am 4. November 1937, als wir in Buchenwald ankamen. Ich fühlte mich den anderen gegenüber ein wenig überlegen, denn ich hatte im Jahre 1933 bereits zwei Konzentrationslager (Colditz und Sachsenburg) kennengelernt. Was konnte mir Buchenwald schon Neues bringen. Jedoch das Gefühl der Überlegenheit verlor sich sehr bald, denn die unverwischbaren Eindrücke schon des ersten Tages zeigten, dass das Lager Buchenwald des Jahres 1937 keinen Vergleich mit dem Lager Colditz aus dem Jahre 1933 zuließ.“ (Bruno Apitz).

Most popular accounts of the Holocaust typically cast Jewish victims as meek and ask, "Why didn't Jews resist?" But we know now that Jews did resist, staging armed uprisings in ghettos and camps throughout Nazi-occupied Europe. In Hope and Honor, Rachel L. Einwohner illustrates the dangers in attempting resistance under unimaginable conditions and shows how remarkable such resistance was. She draws on oral testimonies, published and unpublished diaries and memoirs, and other written materials produced both by survivors and those who perished.
