In 1941, in Berlin, Helga Schneider's mother abandoned her along with her father and younger brother. \u003cb\u003eLet Me Go\u003c\/b\u003e recounts Helga's final meeting with her ailing mother in a Vienna nursing home some sixty years after World War II, in which Helga confronts a nightmare: her mother's lack of repentance about her past as a Nazi SS guard at concentration camps, including Auschwitz, where she was responsible for untold acts of torture. With spellbinding detail, Schneider recalls their conversation, evoking her own struggle between a daughter's sense of obligation and the inescapable horror of her mother's deeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHelga Schneider\u003c\/b\u003e was born in German Poland, but spent her childhood in Berlin.
