Description
Among millions of Holocaust victims sent to Auschwitz II-Birkenau in 1944, were three pregnant women.Priska Lowenbeinova, Rachel Olsky and Anka Bergman.
This book follows the mothers' incredible journey - first to Auschwitz, then to a German slave labour camp where they struggled to conceal their condition; and finally, a 17-day train journey to Mauthausen. Sixty-five years later, the three 'miracle babies' met for the first time at Mauthausen for the anniversary of the liberation that ultimately saved them.
