The defense is made from an entirely secular evolutionary perspective. The theory of evolution – properly considered – is argued to be fully compatible with a belief in in a little bit of free will. Moreover, it is claimed that a complete denial normally contains a kind of contradiction. Not a logical contradiction, but a so-called performative contradiction. The denial argued for contradicts the very existence of argumentative discourses.

Hédi Fried was nineteen when the Nazis arrested her family and transported them to Auschwitz. While there, apart from enduring the daily terror at the camp, she and her sister were forced into hard labour before being released at the end of the war.

After settling in Sweden, Hédi devoted her life to educating young people about the Holocaust. In her 90s, she decided to take the most common questions, and her answers, and turn them into a book so that children all over the world could understand what had happened.

This is a deeply human book that urges us never to forget and never to repeat.

‘It is the telling detail that gives her testimony its particular power … This little book, with its reminder “there are no stupid questions, nor any forbidden ones, but there are some … that have no answer”, is a moving record of one woman’s experience.’
NICK RENNISON, THE SUNDAY TIMES

‘Something like what Anne Frank might have written had she survived … Timeless lessons taught with simple eloquence.’
KIRKUS REVIEWS

“A purportedly high-end spa devolves into a grotty miasma of rot and retribution in Svetoff’s satirical skin-crawling grotesquerie of a debut.” — Publishers Weekly
