A poignant novel based on true events about the famous Auschwitz midwife who tattooed children with their mothers' numbers in the hope that they would one day be reunited.
Auschwitz, 1943.
I hold the tiny baby in my arms, feeling the black tattoo under her arm.
41,400.
I pray that one day this number, just like mine, will reunite our family, torn apart by war...
1943. Ana Kaminski walks through the Auschwitz gates next to her frightened young friend, Esther Pasternak. Reaching the front of the line, Ana steps forward and quietly announces herself as the midwife—and Esther as her assistant. They are tattooed with numbers and sent to the maternity barracks. Ana understands that the fate of these women is in her hands and vows to do everything possible to save them—and their children.
Soon, the Lebensborn program begins at Auschwitz: healthy, blond children are sent to German families. Ana and Esther secretly tattoo the babies with their mothers' numbers in the hope that they will one day be reunited. Until, early one morning, Ana notices her bulging belly beneath Esther's thin, striped dress...
Inspired by an incredible true story, this touching novel tells the story of women's struggles for love, life, and hope in a time of unimaginable darkness.
