Marion Samuel starb im Alter von elf Jahren in Auschwitz. Die „Stiftung Erinnerung“ benannte nach ihr einen Preis, um dieses junge Mädchen stellvertretend für die vielen Tausend im Holocaust untergegangenen Kinder vor dem Vergessen zu bewahren. Im vergangenen Jahr wurde dieser Preis dem Historiker Götz Aly für seine wissenschaftliche und publizistische Tätigkeit verliehen. Für seine Dankesrede recherchierte er in zahlreichen Archiven und fand dort zunächst nur kalte Behördendokumente. Doch schließlich gelang es ihm, zwei überlebende Mitglieder der Familie zu finden, die ihm wichtige Dokumente und sogar Familienfotos anvertrauten. Eine ehemalige Mitschülerin, die Aly über eine Anzeige ausfindig machte, erzählte ihm von einer Begegnung mit Marion Samuel im Jahre 1938: „Plötzlich fing Marion an zu weinen und erzählte, sie hätte Angst. Ich war verwundert, denn sie sagte: ‚Da gehen Menschen durch einen Tunnel im Berg, und da ist auf dem Weg ein großes Loch, und alle werden hineinfallen und sind weg.‘“

Work Description
When the German Remembrance Foundation established a prize to commemorate the million Jewish children murdered during the Holocaust, it was deliberately named after a victim about whom nothing was known except her age and the date of her deportation: Marion Samuel, an eleven-year-old girl killed in Auschwitz in 1943. Sixty years after her death, when Götz Aly received the award, he was moved to find out whatever he could about Marion's short life and restore this child to history.
In what is as much a detective story as a historical reconstruction, Aly, praised for his "formidable research skills" (Christopher Browning), traces the Samuel family's agonizing decline from shop owners to forced laborers to deportees. Against all odds, Aly manages to recover expropriation records, family photographs, and even a trace of Marion's voice in the premonition she confided to a school friend: "People disappear," she said, "into the tunnel."
A gripping account of a family caught in the tightening grip of persecution, Into the Tunnel is a powerful reminder that the millions of Nazi victims were also, each one, an individual life.
