Overview
Una historia real sobre una mujer en Auschwitz que puso su vida en juego para salvar muchas otras, un relato extraordinario de supervivencia y coraje.
Marzo de 1942, una joven maestra de jardín de infancia llamada Magda Hellinger, procedente de Eslovaquia, fue deportada al campo de concentración de Auschwitz junto con casi mil mujeres más, en el que sería uno de los primeros arribos de mujeres judías al terrible campo nazi. En muy poco tiempo la brutalidad del nazismo se volvió su realidad. Al poco tiempo, fue seleccionada para hacerse cargo del infame Bloque 10, en el que el personal médico alemán experimentaba con los reclusos.
En estas memorias, Magda nos relata cómo caminó al filo de la navaja durante varios años, tratando de salvar la mayor cantidad de vidas mientras sorteaba las sospechas de las SS y corría el riesgo de ser ejecutada. A través de su fuerza interior y su instinto de supervivencia, pudo superar el horror y la crueldad de Auschwitz y construir relaciones de amistad con las mujeres bajo su vigilancia. La historia de Magda es un testimonio de cómo el espíritu humano puede salir adelante aun en las condiciones más deshumanizantes.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The “thought-provoking…must-read” (Ariana Neumann, author of When Time Stopped) memoir by a Holocaust survivor who saved an untold number of lives at Auschwitz through everyday acts of courage and kindness—in the vein of A Bookshop in Berlin and The Nazi Officer’s Wife.
In March 1942, twenty-five-year-old kindergarten teacher Magda Hellinger and nearly a thousand other young women were deported as some of the first Jews to be sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp.
The SS soon discovered that by putting prisoners in charge of the day-to-day accommodation blocks, they could deflect attention away from themselves. Magda was one such prisoner selected for leadership and put in charge of hundreds of women in the notorious Experimental Block 10. She found herself constantly walking a dangerously fine line: saving lives while avoiding suspicion by the SS and risking execution. Through her inner strength and shrewd survival instincts, she was able to rise above the horror and cruelty of the camps and build pivotal relationships with the women under her watch, and even some of Auschwitz’s most notorious Nazi senior officers.
Based on Magda’s personal account and completed by her daughter’s extensive research, this is “an unputdownable account of resilience and the power of compassion” (Booklist) in the face of indescribable evil.
