A true story about
three incredible women, Priska, Rachel and Anka who in life never met
but shared an extraordinary and compelling story. Each of these
remarkable women were taken from their homes and sent to the ghetto
and then on to Auschwitz where in order to fight for not only their
own survival, but for their unborn babies, they kept their conditions
secret to avoid the gas chamber and a devastating fate of so many
Jews at this time.
Sent to work as
slave labour, the women had to face the fear of the biggest threat
alone and under the most evil of circumstances. The women had to
avoid disease, starvation and been overworked before having to take a
huge chance, with determination and bravery that would change their
lives forever.
This is a story that
will stay with me for a long time. The book marks not only the
seventieth anniversary of their liberation, but also the seventieth
birthdays of the three miracle babies, who survived and it is very
much about how life came out of such unimaginable circumstances and a
chance for new beginnings, as much as it covers a detailed written
account of what it was like to be a Jewish woman held in captivity
under an evil dictator and it does not hold back and Wendy Holden
gives the reader a true and honest account of what did actually
happen although the details are horrendous and most appalling crimes
and acts of evil of what these people went through, it is something
we all need to know and we must all remember.
