Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Haunting account of bravery, friendship, and endurance."--Marie Claire

"By turns heartbreaking and inspiring."--Caroline Weber, New York Times Book Review

"As Moorehead delves deeply into the women's fight for survival, her narrative seamlessly comes together in order to share a significant part of history whose time has come to be heard."--Meganne Fabrega, Christian Science Monitor

"As chronicled by Moorehead with unblinking accuracy, their agonies are appalling to contemplate, their stories of survival and friendship under duress enthralling to hear."--More magazine

"The first complete account of these extraordinary women and, incredibly, over 60 years later we are still learning new and terrible truths about the Holocaust. . . . An important new perspective. . . . Careful research and sensitive retelling."--Buzzy Jackson, Boston Sunday Globe

"A necessary book. . . . Compelling and moving. . . . The literature of wartime France and the Holocaust is by now so vast as to confound the imagination, but when a book as good as this comes along, we are reminded that there is always room for something new."--Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post

"An extremely moving and intensely personal history of the Auschwitz universe as experienced by these women. . . . A powerful and moving book."--Natasha Lehrer, Times Literary Supplement (UK)

"Compelling . . . Moorehead weaves into her suspenseful, detailed narrative myriad personal stories of friendship, courage, and heartbreak."--Kirkus Reviews

"[Moorehead] traces the lives and deaths of all her subjects with unswerving candor and compassion. . . . In Moorehead's telling, neither evil nor good is banal; and if the latter doesn't always triumph, it certainly inspires."--Elysa Gardner, USA Today

"A miraculous story about friendship and the will to overcome extraordinary cruelty, heartache and loss."--The Jewish Journal, "Best Books of 2011"
