Hard to evaluate... The women's stories were good but the meshing of those stories didn't work and ended up kinda repeating chunks of the stories. Would have been better as the separate works - it just felt forced to try to mesh items that didn't fit together easily... And was really difficult to keep clear Good narrator Waargebeurde oorlogsmemoir over onvoorwaardelijke moederliefde en de drang om te overleven Drie zwangere Joodse vrouwen belanden tegen het eind van de Tweede Wereldoorlog in Auschwitz. Priska, Rachel en Anka kunnen zichzelf en hun ongeboren kind alleen tegen de gruwelen van het kamp beschermen door hun zwangerschap te verbergen en door te werken in een wapenfabriek. Tijdens een massatransport naar Mauthausen waarbij de helft van de gevangenen sterft, bevallen de sterk ondervoede vrouwen zonder van elkaars bestaan op de hoogte te zijn. Dankzij de hulp van medegevangenen en een enkele meelevende bewaker overleven zowel de moeders als hun pasgeboren kinderen de laatste oorlogsdagen. Na de oorlog beginnen Priska, Rachel en Anka met hun kinderen een nieuw leven in verschillende uithoeken van de wereld. Op de 65e bevrijdingsdag van het concentratiekamp Mauthausen komen de kinderen voor het eerst met elkaar in contact. Wendy Holden, journaliste, biografe en bestsellerauteur, vertelt in De baby's van Mauthausen hun opmerkelijke verhaal voor het eerst. Once you start reading this incredible book you simply cannot put it down---you are totally compelled to keep reading. It's a book that should be read by all the deniers that still exist out there.....and just considering what we are going through NOW in this world and have continued to go through---ask Samantha Power. It is beyond sickening to know what human beings can do to each other---horrific, and the question is why????? And how?? Is terror and cowardice most of the reason? Fear for oneself? This is an amazing book---awful, awful, awful to keep reading, even with the remarkable facts about what happened afterwards to these particular three women and their children....amazing...but out of the total loss it is unspeakable. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Eastern Europe, 1944: Three women believe they are pregnant, but are torn from their husbands before they can be certain. Rachel is sent to Auschwitz, unaware that her husband has been shot. Priska and her husband travel there together, but are immediately separated. Also at Auschwitz, Anka hopes in vain to be reunited with her husband. With the rest of their families gassed, these young wives are determined to hold on to all they have left-their lives, and those of their unborn babies. Having concealed their condition from infamous Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, they are forced to work and almost starved to death, living in daily fear of their pregnancies being detected by the SS. In April 1945, Priska gives birth. She and her baby, along with Anka, Rachel, and the remaining inmates, are sent to Mauthausen concentration camp on a hellish train journey. Rachel gives birth on the train; Anka at the camp gates. All believe they will die-then a miracle occurs. The gas chamber runs out of Zyklon-B, and as the Allied troops near, the SS flee. Against all odds, the three mothers and their newborns survive their treacherous journey to freedom. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
