For readers of Schindler's List, The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas comes a heart-breaking story of the very best of humanity in the very worst of circumstances. I tattooed a number on her arm. She tattooed her name on my heart. In 1942, Lale Sokolov arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau. He was given the job of tattooing the prisoners marked for survival - scratching numbers into his fellow victims' arms in indelible ink to create what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust. Waiting in line to be tattooed, terrified and shaking, was a young girl. For Lale - a dandy, a jack-the-lad, a bit of a chancer - it was love at first sight. And he was determined not only to survive himself, but to ensure this woman, Gita, did, too. So begins one of the most life-affirming, courageous, unforgettable and human stories of the Holocaust: the love story of the tattooist of Auschwitz.

The powerful chronicle of the women who used their sewing skills to survive the Holocaust, stitching beautiful clothes at an extraordinary fashion workshop created within one of the most notorious WWII death camps. At the height of the Holocaust twenty-five young inmates of the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp - mainly Jewish women and girls - were selected to design, cut, and sew beautiful fashions for elite Nazi women in a dedicated salon. It was work that they hoped would spare them from the gas chambers. This fashion workshop - called the Upper Tailoring Studio - was established by Hedwig Höss, the camp commandant's wife, and patronized by the wives of SS guards and officers. Here, the dressmakers produced high-quality garments for SS social functions in Auschwitz, and for ladies from Nazi Berlin's upper crust. Drawing on diverse sources - including interviews with the last surviving seamstress - The Dressmakers of Auschwitz follows the fates of these brave women. Their bonds of family and friendship not only helped them endure persecution, but also to play their part in camp resistance. Weaving the dressmakers' remarkable experiences within the context of Nazi policies for plunder and exploitation, historian Lucy Adlington exposes the greed, cruelty, and hypocrisy of the Third Reich and offers a fresh look at a little-known chapter of World War II and the Holocaust.

I stroked his cheek, whispered, it’s really you… Dov and Yitzhak live in a small village in the mountains of Hungary, isolated both from the world and from the horrors of the war. But one day in 1944, everything changes. The Nazis storm the homes of the Jewish villagers and inform them they have one hour. One hour before the train will take them to Auschwitz. Six decades later, from the safety of their living rooms at home in Israel, the brothers finally break their silence to a friend who will never let their stories be forgotten.

Autorka s citem odkrývá sedmdesát let staré události, aniž by milostný příběh převládal nad tím nejdůležitějším – ztrátou domova, utrpením a touhou přežít.

Rozumiete?“ Keď boli Cibi, Magda a Livi malé, sľúbili svojmu otcovi, že zostanú spolu, nech sa stane čokoľvek. O niekoľko rokov neskôr, keď mala Livi len pätnásť rokov, dostala príkaz na transport do Osvienčimu. O štyri roky staršia Cibi šla s Livi, odhodlaná ochrániť ju alebo zomrieť spolu ňou. Spoločne bojovali a prežili nepredstaviteľnú krutosť a utrpenie. Len sedemnásťročná Magda, zostala so svojou matkou a starým otcom vo Vranove nad Topľou, ukrývala sa u susedov v podkroví alebo v lese, keď členovia Hlinkovej gardy hľadali Židov. Podarilo sa jej unikať, ale nakoniec aj ju odviezli do tábora smrti v Osvienčime-Brezinke. Tam sa tri sestry znova stretli a pri spomienke na otca si dali nový sľub, tentoraz jedna druhej – prežijú. Heather Morris, autorka kníh Tetovač z Auschwitzu a Cilkina cesta, ktorých sa po celom svete predalo osem miliónov výtlačkov, prichádza s novým ohromujúcim príbehom, ktorý sa dotkne vášho srdca, nadchne vás odvaha a nezištná láska troch sestier, ktoré vzájomný sľub udržal nažive.

The harrowing, moving and poignant account of one of the youngest survivors of Auschwitz: a girl who was only five years old when she was sent to an extermination camp, and was one of the few people who entered a gas chamber and lived to tell her story.'I am a survivor. That comes with a survivor's obligation to represent one and half million Jewish children murdered by the Nazis. They cannot speak. So I must speak on their behalf.'AN INCREDIBLE STORY OF COURAGE, RESILIENCE AND SURVIVAL Tova Friedman was one of the youngest people to emerge from Auschwitz. After surviving the liquidation of the Jewish ghetto in Central Poland where she lived as a toddler, Tova was five when she and her parents were sent to a Nazi labour camp, and almost six when she and her mother were forced into a packed cattle truck and sent to Auschwitz II, also known as the Birkenau extermination camp, while her father was transported to Dachau. During six months of incarceration in Birkenau, Tova witnessed atrocities that she could never forget, and experienced numerous escapes from death. She is one of a handful of Jews to have entered a gas chamber and lived to tell the tale. As Nazi killing squads roamed Birkenau before abandoning the camp in January 1945, Tova and her mother hid among corpses. After being liberated by the Russians they made their way back to their hometown in Poland. Eventually Tova's father tracked them down and the family was reunited.In The Daughter of Auschwitz, Tova immortalizes what she saw, to keep the story of the Holocaust alive, at a time when it is in danger of fading from memory. She has used those memories that have shaped her life to honour the victims. Written with award-winning former war reporter Malcolm Brabant, this is an extremely important book. Brabant's thorough research has helped Tova recall her experiences in searing detail. Together they have painstakingly recreated Tova's extraordinary story about one of the worst ever crimes against humanity.

eBook: Dosud nevyřčený příběh z tábora smrti Kniha Tatér z Osvětimi vznikla podle skutečného příběhu, jenž souvisí s jedním z nejznámějších symbolů holocaustu – čísly, která měli vězňové vytetována na předloktí. Když se slovenský žid Lale Sokolov stal v tom strašlivém místě tatérem a musel označovat své spoluvězně čísly vyvedenými nesmazatelným inkoustem, využil svou nepatrnou volnost k činům. Díky své práci mohl vyměňovat šperky a peníze z majetku zavražděných židů za jídlo, které pomáhalo ostatní vězně držet naživu. Kdyby byl dopaden, čekala by ho jistá smrt. Za své přežití mu vděčí mnozí. O holocaustu existuje bezpočet knih. Tato je však unikátní. Lale Sokolov velmi dobře věděl, co spoluvězně i jeho samotného čeká, a byl odhodlán nejen přežít, ale také žít naplno. To, co poznal, je sice strašlivé, ale současně plné naděje a odvahy. A v jeho vzpomínkách má své místo kupodivu také láska. V řadě vězňů čekajících na tetování stála i zděšená, chvějící se dívka. Pro Lalea – trochu drzého hazardéra – to byla láska na první pohled. Jeho a Gitin příběh, ověřený podle všech dostupných dokumentů a déle než sedmdesát let nevyprávěný, potvrdil jejich syn. Jen sotva mohli tehdy doufat, že se ho dočkají. Při čtení budete možná slzet, děj knihy vás však také povzbudí. Neboť to, co je v lidech nejlepší, přežilo i v situaci ze všech nejhorší. Heather Morrisová se narodila na Novém Zélandu, žije a pracuje v australském Melbourne. S Lalem Sokolovem se seznámila v roce 2003 a toto setkání jim oběma změnilo život. Vzniklo mezi nimi přátelství a Lale ji pověřil, aby světu předala i ty nejniternější podrobnosti z jeho života za holocaustu.

The powerful, heart-breaking memoir of Dita Kraus, the real-life Librarian of AuschwitzBorn in Prague to a Jewish family in 1929, Dita Kraus has lived through the most turbulent decades of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Here, Dita writes with startling clarity on the horrors and joys of a life delayed by the Holocaust. From her earliest memories and childhood friendships in Prague before the war, to the Nazi-occupation that saw her and her family sent to the Jewish ghetto at Terezin, to the unimaginable fear and bravery of her imprisonment in Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, and life after liberation.Dita writes unflinchingly about the harsh conditions of the camps and her role as librarian of the precious books that her fellow prisoners managed to smuggle past the guards. But she also looks beyond the Holocaust - to the life she rebuilt after the war: her marriage to fellow survivor Otto B Kraus, a new life in Israel and the happiness and heartbreaks of motherhood.Part of Dita's story was told in fictional form in the Sunday Times bestseller The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iturbe. Her memoir tells the full story in her own words.

For readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Choice: this is the story of the smallest library in the world - and the most dangerous. 'It wasn't an extensive library. In fact, it consisted of eight books and some of them were in poor condition. But they were books. In this incredibly dark place, they were a reminder of less sombre times, when words rang out more loudly than machine guns…' Fourteen-year-old Dita is one of the many imprisoned by the Nazis at Auschwitz. Taken, along with her mother and father, from the Terezín ghetto in Prague, Dita is adjusting to the constant terror that is life in the camp. When Jewish leader Freddy Hirsch asks Dita to take charge of the eight precious books the prisoners have managed to smuggle past the guards, she agrees. And so Dita becomes the secret librarian of Auschwitz, responsible for the safekeeping of the small collection of titles, as well as the ‘living books' - prisoners of Auschwitz who know certain books so well, they too can be ‘borrowed' to educate the children in the camp. But books are extremely dangerous. They make people think. And nowhere are they more dangerous than in Block 31 of Auschwitz, the children's block, where the slightest transgression can result in execution, no matter how young the transgressor… The Sunday Times bestseller for readers of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, The Tattooist of Auschwitz and The Choice. Based on the incredible and moving true story of Dita Kraus, holocaust survivor and secret librarian for the children's block in Auschwitz.

'A fascinating story about a religion in a surprisingly precarious position' Dan Jones, Sunday Times'Superb storytelling ... captivating and profound' Literary Review'A page-turner' The SpectatorIn the fourth century AD, a new faith exploded out of Palestine. Overwhelming the paganism of Rome, and converting the Emperor Constantine in the process, it resoundingly defeated a host of other rivals.Almost a thousand years later, all of Europe was controlled by Christian rulers, and the religion, ingrained within culture and society, exercised a monolithic hold over its population. But, as Peter Heather shows in this compelling history, there was nothing inevitable about Christendom's rise to Europe-wide dominance. In exploring how the Christian religion became such a defining feature of the European landscape, and how a small sect of isolated congregations was transformed into a mass movement centrally directed from Rome, Heather shows how Christendom constantly battled against both so-called 'heresies' and other forms of belief.From the crisis that followed the collapse of the Roman Empire, which left the religion teetering on the edge of extinction, to the astonishing revolution in which the Papacy emerged as the head of a vast international corporation, Heather traces Christendom's chameleon-like capacity for self-reinvention and willingness to mobilize well-directed force. Christendom's achievement was not, or not only, to define official Christianity, but - from its scholars and its lawyers, to its provincial officials and missionaries in far-flung corners of the continent - to transform it into an institution that wielded effective religious authority across nearly all of the disparate peoples of medieval Europe. This is its extraordinary story.

We felt an urge to document what we had witnessed. If we who had experienced it, I reasoned, did not reveal the bitter truth, people simply would not believe the extent of the Nazis' evil. I wanted to share our life, the events and our struggle to survive.' Thomas Geve was just 15 years old when he was liberated from Buchenwald concentration camp on 11 April 1945. It was the third concentration camp he had survived. Upon arrival at Auschwitz- Birkenau, Thomas was separated from his mother and left to fend for himself in the men's camp of Auschwitz I, at the age of 13. During the 22 months he was imprisoned, he was subjected to, and forced to observe first-hand, the inhumane world of Nazi concentration camps. On his eventual release Thomas felt compelled to capture daily life in the death camps in more than eighty profoundly moving drawings. Infamous scenarios synonymous with this dark period of history were portrayed in poignant but simplistic detail with extraordinary accuracy. Despite the unspeakable events he experienced, Thomas decided to become an active witness and tell the truth about life in the camps. He has spoken to audiences from around the world and continues to raise awareness about the Holocaust. The Boy Who Drew Auschwitz presents a rare living testimony through the eyes of a child who had the unique ability to observe and remember every detail around him and chose to document it all.

THE MAN WHO BROKE INTO AUSCHWITZ is the extraordinary true story of a British soldier who marched willingly into Buna-Monowitz, the concentration camp known as Auschwitz III. In the summer of 1944, Denis Avey was being held in a POW labour camp, E715, near Auschwitz III. He had heard of the brutality meted out to the prisoners there and he was determined to witness what he could. He hatched a plan to swap places with a Jewish inmate and smuggled himself into his sector of the camp. He spent the night there on two occasions and experienced at first-hand the cruelty of a place where slave workers, had been sentenced to death through labour. Astonishingly, he survived to witness the aftermath of the Death March where thousands of prisoners were murdered by the Nazis as the Soviet Army advanced. After his own long trek right across central Europe he was repatriated to Britain. For decades he couldn't bring himself to revisit the past, but now Denis Avey feels able to tell the full story - a tale as gripping as it is moving - which offers us a unique insight into the mind of an ordinary man whose moral and physical courage are almost beyond belief.

A powerful and intensely moving true-life account from two sisters who were among the very few children to survive Auschwitz. For readers of Lily's Promise and The Tattooist of Auschwitz. Always Remember Your Name is an unforgettable story of the power of sisterhood, and of how a mother's love triumphed over impossible odds. On 28 March 1944, Italian sisters Tati (six) and Andra (four) were roused from their sleep and taken to Auschwitz, to the infamous Kinder Block presided over by Josef Mengele, the Angel of Death. By the time Auschwitz was liberated, 230,000 children had been murdered, and the sisters were among only 70 child survivors.Throughout their ordeal in the camp and the liberation of Auschwitz, their long journey from Poland to Czechoslovakia and finally to Lingfield House in Britain, they hung on to their promise to their mother to 'always remember your name'. They never forgot they were Tati and Andra Bucci, and it was this connection to their heritage that brought them miraculously back to their parents, years later and many countries away. The sisters overcame their trauma to live long lives, bearing witness as survivors of the Holocaust.'Always Remember Your Name is heart-breaking and yet utterly uplifting, with the fierce bond of two sisters at its heart, who survived the Holocaust to bear witness, so that none of us will ever forget.' Heather Morris, international bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz'A valuable record of what was suffered by surely some of our youngest survivors.

Kniha o vůli k životu. Max Rodrigues Garcia (1924) přežil v letech 1943–1945 čtyři koncentrační tábory i pochod smrti; Američané ho osvobodili v rakouském Ebensee. Začal pro ně pracovat jako tlumočník a rozhodl se, že se do rodného Nizozemska už nevrátí. Byl přesvědčený, že z jeho židovské rodiny stejně nikdo nezůstal naživu. Po válce se chtěl stát Američanem se vším všudy – od imitace amerického vystupování a pití coca-coly po sdílení víry v zemi neomezených možností. Po několika pokusech o nový začátek si natrvalo vybral San Francisco. Teprve devět let po svém osvobození právě tam dokázal zakotvit. Garciova kniha je neobvyklým vzpomínáním. Autor totiž nevypráví jen o prožitém utrpení, ale především o důsledcích, které mělo pro celý jeho další život – a o tom, jak musel své představy měnit. V závěru jsou připojeny zpovědi jeho dětí a vnuků, což naznačuje, že se mu podařilo v životě uspět. Takže přece jen americký happy-end? Ne tak docela. Další generace totiž kriticky popisují, jak se vyrůstá s traumaty holocaustu. Přesto ani jejich svědectví nevyvolává skepsi a smutek. Naopak. Příběh Maxe Garcii je plný tvrdohlavé životní energie. Vypráví o tom, že i tak děsivou zkušenost lze zkrotit a znovu naplno žít.
