Lindas Book Obsession Reviews “Do Not Cry When I Die” By Renee Salt and Kate Thompson, Alcove Press, March 2025. On Tour with Suzy Approved Book Tours

Renee Salt and Kate Thompson, the authors of “Do Not Cry When I Die” “ A Holocaust Memoir of a Mother and Daughter’s Survival in Jewish Ghettos, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen” have written a Thought-provoking and memorable memoir. Renee Salt is now 94 years old, and her recollections of her family, traditions, and tragic experiences are both informative and educational. Kate Thompson is a journalist who has done the historical documentation, and has travelled to the places Renee Salt discusses. Renee Salt is one of the oldest survivors of the Holocaust and mentions that it was her mother’s love that kept her going.

This is a devastating, and tragic part of history, and the authors have brought to light this dark period through Renee’s recollections. This is a difficult book to read, but I highly recommend this to others as a reminder that we should never forget.
