In her epic love story Susan Kaszas describes with touching directness, what it feels like to be taken from one’s family, to be beaten, cursed at, poisoned, and to witness unspeakable, systematic cruelty. But the hardest aspect of her personal and collective hell was being separated from her one love, her husband, Alex. From Love to Triumph is a love letter to Alex.
Her devotedness to him gave her the strength to survive the Nazi death camps. Her undying love shines through her words: “My Dear Alex, you must know that I can’t live without love and the only reason I am still alive is that I want to be with you again in this life. If you love me as much as I love you, then my suffering was not in vain.”
Love is something that cannot be killed. The body can be crushed, the psyche can be beaten down, but nothing can take love away from the human heart against one’s will. That is the meaning and purpose of Susan’s survival and triumph.
