Zdena Berger was born in 1925 in Prague, where she lived until the Nazi occupation. She spent the war years as a prisoner of Terezin, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen. After the liberation of Bergen-Belsen in 1945, Berger returned to Prague to complete her education, and then lived in Paris for nearly a decade. She immigrated to the U.S. and moved to California in 1955. Tell Me Another Morning is her only book.
I love this book from beginning to end. It is a classic.--Ernest J.

Words for the unimaginable. Clear-eyed, strong, terrifying, and
finally, somehow, hopeful.--Nicole Krauss
A rediscovered masterpiece of Holocaust literature, first published
in 1961 and now lovingly, and vigorously, resurrected. Anne Frank
died in the camps, of typhus; Zdena Berger, a Czech girl of about
the same age, somehow survived. And, with Tell Me Another Morning,
triumphed. Read, breathe, recover, then place on the shelf with
Frank, Levi, Wiesel.--The San Diego Union-Tribune

As the three friend's journey into darkness progresses, Tania's
language grows pure and strong in the best style of Hemingway. Tell
Me Another Morning is luminous yet modest, rooted in the last
century's worst reality, yet without rancor. Who could make up such
miracles?--The Lost Angeles Times
This young girl's journey through the demonic madness of then, is
much needed now. Written from a poet's hear across all divides,
Tell Me Another Morning is a profound and lyrical reflection upon
agony, survival, healing, and hope.--Blanche Wiesen Cooke
An immediate and moving history of women's lives together under
Nazi control. Now, in an era where there are fewer and fewer
survivors to tell their story, Zdena Berger's autobiographical
novel is an important testament to both the brutality of Nazi
fascism and the tenacity of the human spirit to overcome.--Foreward
Magazine
The author captures the horrifying realities of the Holocaust,
while also illuminating the small moments that enabled hope and
survival. With spare, breathtaking prose, this book offers a vision
that is indelible in its poignancy, its warning, its beauty.--ABC
