About this item

"Mesmerizing and inspirational." - Judy Batalion, New York Times bestselling author of The Light of Days. 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. 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 for 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.. Incredibly, David and Zippi survived for years beneath the ash-choked skies of Auschwitz.
