Strengths and Steadfastness
The number of survivors from World War II is diminishing. The war ended 75 years ago and those that survived or participated in the atrocities at Auschwitz and other concentration camps are no longer able to share their stories.
But, their stories should still be told, especially those of the women imprisoned in Auschwitz. They faced the same terrible conditions that the men did and yet they also had to deal with additional dangers simply because of their sex.
Unfortunately, because talking about this sexual behavior has been a taboo for so many years there are many women that simply built new lives after the Holocaust and never spoke of what they experienced, even though it was indelibly marked upon their conscience. This book takes a look at what the conditions were like for women in Auschwitz, the conditions they lived in, the jobs they were forced to do, and their involvement in the underground movement, both inside and outside the prison.
What will strike you the most is how they survived and maintained their spirits against all the odds. The women of Auschwitz emphasize what is possible, even when everything is stacked against you.
