We Got the Water is the story of the Klein family: Herman and Bertha; and their three children; Lilly; Oli and sixteen-year-old Gabi. In the spring and summer of 1944; along with more than 400;000 other Hungarian Jews; they were forced from their homes; rounded up; and sent to Auschwitz. The Kleins were aboard one of the very first trains of this mass deportation. Author Jill Gabrielle Klein follows her father; his sisters and their mother through Auschwitz and into slave labor camps in Poland and Germany; providing a narrative—both harrowing and inspirational—of resilience in the face of terror. As it charts the author’s personal quest to reconstruct the past; the book also documents the inexorable disappearance of living Holocaust survivors; whose first-person accounts illuminate this dark period and inscribe it in our collective memory.
