Helga Schneider "ich weiss
Helga Schneider's memoir (notably *Lass mich gehen* / *Let Me Go*) recounts her painful reunion with her mother, who abandoned her as a child to become an SS guard at Auschwitz. The phrase "ich weiss" ("I know") reflects the confrontation between daughter and mother over her mother's acknowledgment (or denial) of her role in Nazi crimes.
