“See you tonight and promise to be a good boy,” were not only the last words Salo Muller’s mother would say to him but the last time he would know true happiness. For in a few days, Salo would lose his parents to a fate too horrific to comprehend. They were to be executed simply for being Jewish. Cries for help fell on deaf ears; for most people, the execution of former friends and neighbors had become a source of entertainment. Meanwhile, sympathizers earnestly sought a safe place for Salo. Unfortunately, the abrupt loss of his parents and being forced to adopt a new identity left Salo feeling depressed and lonely, and as a result, his health suffered immensely. Those same ailments would follow him into adulthood. By writing See You Tonight and Promise To Be Good Boy!, Salo hopes to receive the peace and closure he desperately wants.
Salo Muller's heartbreak and trauma are palpable as is his empathy for fellow victims in this heart-wrenching tribute to all Holocaust survivors and the millions who died, ensuring that their voices are heard. Sadly, eight decades later not much has changed in the way of antisemitism, and for humanity. Tragically, the compassion needed is still absent from many hearts. A new generation of hate is being encouraged and I was shocked to learn that people are so tolerant of those practicing antisemitism, even choosing to look the other way. However, Salo has hopes that things will change, and at 87, he continues to fight for the rights of Jews; commemorating the past while believing that there is a brighter future ahead. See You Tonight and Promise To Be a Good Boy! demonstrates how precious life is and how we should appreciate our loved ones while we can.
