Summary: A memoir of the human heart... a drama of the highest order.
Comment: To See You Again celebrates life and love in a time of war and betrayal. This book touched me in so many ways, and it made me glad to know that there was still some goodness in the world, even in a time of so much suffering. Betty's life was described in heart wrenching detail, and you felt as if you were there with Betty...laughed with her...and cried with her. I started to cry when I read this book during my 8th period class, and my tears probably didn't go unnoticed, then again, the people beside me would probably agree if they read this extraordinary true story.

Summary: One of the best books about the Holocaust.
Comment: Betty Schimmel's book, "To See You Again' is an important slice of history about love found and love lost in the midst of one of the worst tragedies of our time.
Her life and world was being tore down around her as the Hitler war machine made its way into Budapest. Yet in the middle of all this turmoil, true love was found and the only thing that could tear it apart was the simple fact that she was Jewish. Her love for Richie Covacs' outweighed her safety, outweighed the gold star she was forced to wear, and eventually, it out outweighed her sanity.
My heart ached for Betty the day the SS and the Arrow Cross came knocking at the doors and gathered up what was left of her family. I wanted to spring into the book and help Richies' 'Kis Pofa" (His pet name for her which means: Little face.) Was she ever going to see him again? Would they get married, have children, be in each others arms ever again?
"To See You Again" is also a story of the human will to survive. Betty's Mother is one of the most heroic people I have every read about. A woman, despite all the grisly horror around her, kept her undying faith in God. It was that faith that kept her and her family from dying on a grueling death march and in the concentration camps.
This book will make you shed tears of joy and tears of pain.
I have meet Betty and Otto during the taping of her son's (Robert Schimmel) HBO comey special. It was an honor!

Summary: A tragic sad story
Comment: I am surprised that everyone is saying how generous and kind Otto was to Betty. I found him to be very selfish. Betty had made it clear that she wanted to be with Richie. He had promised her freedom if she ever found him.
HE LIED TO HER. RICHIE CAME TO THE DOOR AND OTTO SENT HIM AWAY AND KEPT IT A SECRET FROM BETTY FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS. He even pressed her soon afterwards to get the marriage legal (they had just had a jewish ceremony prior) and he was so anxious to move to PA. He lived for himself he was lying to Betty by keeping secrets. She agonized over the idea that Richie might be dead.
When she found out otherwise, Otto said "I couldn't let you go.
I couldn't let my son go. I had already lost so much." He only thought of himself and he lived a lie for all those years. He was utterly SELFISH.
Betty was not happy in her marriage to Otto. Her heart belonged to and with Richie.
Otto STOLE her life and true happiness because he wanted her for himself.
When 2 people are meant to be together like Richie and Betty they SHOULD be together.
A very sad, sad story.
