Tell Me Another Morning is an autobiographical novel by Zdena Berger, a survivor of Holocaust camps at Theresienstadt, Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen. Berger began writing the book in 1955 after coming to North America and in 1961 she published the work through Harper & Brothers. The work went out of print shortly thereafter but was reissued in 2007 through Paris Press. The book depicts the experiences of Tania Andersova, a teenage girl who is taken away to the Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust.

Tell Me Another Morning was a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award for Women's Studies in 2007.

The book begins with Tania, a 14-year-old girl living in Prague before the war. Her life is fairly ordinary until her 16th year, when Tania and her family were captured by Nazi guards. Tania and her parents are forced to board a train headed for a Nazi concentration camp. Once there, they are kept in a horrific environment where there was little food or water. Prisoners are worked to death and when they can no longer work, they are slaughtered. Tania manages to befriend Ilsa, a young teen who works in the kitchens and helps supply Tania and her parents with extra food. However, despite this help, the health of Tania's parents suffers- which proves problematic when it comes time to move to another camp. Ilsa tries to use lipstick to rouge the cheeks of Tania's mother and enable her to remain with them, only for Tania's mother to choose to remain with her husband, as he has been selected for death as opposed to transfer.
