It is 1942 and Eva has boarded a train to Auschwitz. Exhausted from standing up for days, she can think only of her longed-for reunion with her husband Michal, who was sent there months earlier. But when Eva arrives at Auschwitz, there is no sign of Michal and the reality of the camp comes crashing down upon her. As she lies shivering on a thin mattress, her head shaved by rough hands, she hears a whisper. Her bunkmate, Sofie, is reaching out her hand ... As the days pass, they learn each other's dreams - Eva's is that she will find Michal alive, and Sofie's is that she will be reunited with her son Tomas, who has been sent to an orphanage. Sofie sees the chance to engineer one last meeting between Eva and Michal and knows she must take it even if means befriending the enemy ...

- The nine : the true story of a band of women who survived the worst of Nazi Germany / by Strauss, Gwen,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."The Nine follows the true story of the author's great aunt Helene Podliasky, who led a band of nine female resistance fighters as they escaped a German forced labor camp and made a ten-day journey across the front lines of WWII from Germany back to Paris. The nine women were all under thirty when they joined the resistance. They smuggled arms through Europe, harbored parachuting agents, coordinated communications between regional sectors, trekked escape routes to Spain and hid Jewish children in scattered apartments. They were arrested by French police, interrogated and tortured by the Gestapo. They were subjected to a series of French prisons and deported to Germany. The group formed along the way, meeting at different points, in prison, in transit, and at Ravensbrück. By the time they were enslaved at the labor camp in Leipzig, they were a close-knit group of friends. During the final days of the war, forced onto a death march, the nine chose their moment and made a daring escape. Drawing on incredible research, this powerful, heart-stopping narrative is a moving tribute to the power of humanity and friendship in the darkest of times"--- Subjects: Biographies.; Podliasky, Hélène, 1920-2012.; Ravensbrück (Concentration camp); World War, 1939-1945; Women political prisoners; Women concentration camp inmates; Prisoner-of-war escapes; Prisoners of war; Guerrillas; Guerrillas; World War, 1939-1945;
