On a fateful day in May 1941; in Nazi-occupied Strasbourg; seventeen-year- old Pierre Seel was summoned by the Gestapo. This was the beginning of his journey through the horrors of a concentration camp.For nearly forty years; Seel kept this secret in order to hide his homosexuality. Eventually he decided to speak out; bearing witness to an aspect of the Holocaust rarely seen. This edition; with a new foreword from gay-literature historian Gregory Woods; is an extraordinary firsthand account of the Nazi roundup and the deportation of homosexuals.

HardyI found this book in my local library a year or so ago; never heard of it before; skimmed through it; decided it was worth a read; then started as soon as I got home couldn't put it down; so I went on .com and ordered my own copy. I recommend this book to everyone I know. Poor Betty--losing her father distant relatives in the Holocaust; surviving it herself; losing Richie; marrying Otto; starting a new life in America; then finding out that Otto had known since 1950 that Richie was alive had been searching for her. Hollywood should definitely make a movie of Betty's story; it's that intriguing. I was glad to see that she had some "closure" and found happiness with Otto. Betty her son; Robert both died in 2010 (he was in a car accident).0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I loved this bookBy candice forshawI loved this book...it took a little while to pick up but once it did; the pages in the book seemed to turn way to fast and soon enough the book was over. This book left me feeling like there was a void in my heart... a must read...it's a true story of love and war!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. To See You Again: Purchased at .comBy depI can't get over this book; I read it in one day. Never have I read a book like this; it just captivated me. The authors mother was just fanatastic keeping her family together while being forced to walk to a concentration camp; and then making sure they survived the time in camp. At first I felt bad when the author married a man she really didn't seem to love; but after seeing how she treated him during almost 30 years of marriage I felt rather angry at her. On the other hand; how hard it must be to lose your first love and never know if he survived the war. In the end I was very glad she stayed with her husband. I think so many of the problems with the author and her husband was the fact that they never really dealt with living through the Holocaust and were both keeping big secrets from each other. I'm so very glad I got to read this book.
