Judith H. Sherman, Say the Name: A Survivor’s Tale in Prose and Poetry (2005)

After more than fifty years of public silence Sherman is triggered to speak out after hearing a lecture by Professor Carrasco at Princeton on ‘Religion and the Terror of History’. The narrative is interspersed with Sherman’s powerful poems that grab the reader’s attention. Poignant original drawings made secretly by imprisoned women of Ravensbruck, at risk of their lives, illuminate the text. Sherman courageously bears witness to the terror of man and simultaneously challenges God for answers.
