Sonja Barend is a household name in every Dutch family. She has been dubbed the 'Queen of Interviewers'. For many years she had interview programs on Dutch television. Je ziet mij nooit meer terug is her autobiography.

In her interviews, Sonja Barend always very sincerely put other people first. She appeared sincerely in others, while she herself remained totally modest and natural. The same happens in her autobiography. Reading Je ziet mij nooit meer terug we learn a lot about Sonja Barend, her youth, her education and her early career, especially also before her work in the media, but autobiographical detail about herself almost always appears after writing about others. The first chapters about her eraliest youth are preceded about a chapter about her present-day partner. Particularly, the book is very much about her father whom she has never known. The title which freely translates as "You will never see me back" turned out to be profetic. After his arrest and deportation by the Nazis her father was never again heard of.

Throughout the book Barend appears natural and modest. The gradual revelations about the humble background of her father are welcomed more than just accepted. She writes with gratitude about growing up in Alkmaar, in a foster family, essentially in hiding as a half-Jewish girl.

Je ziet mij nooit meer terug is not an intellectual book to create some fantastic foil. It is a very humble and human story about herself, her father and her family.
