Lovers in Auschwitz : a true story  Cover Image Book Book

Lovers in Auschwitz : a true story / Keren Blankfeld.

Blankfeld, Keren, (author.).

Summary:

Zippi Spitzer and David Wisnia were captivated by each other from the moment they first exchanged glances across the work floor. It was the beginning of a love story that could have happened anywhere. Except one difference: this romance was unfolding in history's most notorious death camp, between two young prisoners whose budding intimacy risked dooming them if they were caught. 'Lovers in Auschwitz' is the incredible true story of two Holocaust survivors who fell in love in Auschwitz, only to be separated upon liberation and lead remarkable lives apart following the war-and then find each other again more than 70 years later.
