Krátky popis
'Books such as this are essential: they remind modern readers of
events that should never be forgotten' - Caroline MooreheadOn March
25, 1942, nearly a thousand young, unmarried Jewish women boarded a
train in Poprad, Slovakia. Filled with a sense of adventure and
national pride, they left their parents' homes wearing their best
clothes and confidently waving good-bye. Believing they were going
to work in a factory for a few months, they were eager to report
for government service.Instead, the young women-many of them
teenagers-were sent to Auschwitz. Their government paid 500
Reichsmarks (about GBP160) apiece for the Nazis to take them as
slave labour. Of those 999 innocent deportees, only a few would
survive.The facts of the first official Jewish transport to
Auschwitz are little known, yet profoundly relevant today. These
were not resistance fighters or prisoners of war. There were no men
among them.Sent to almost certain death, the young women were
powerless and insignificant not only because they were Jewish-but
also because they were female. Now, acclaimed author Heather Dune
Macadam reveals their poignant stories, drawing on extensive
interviews with survivors, and consulting with historians,
witnesses, and relatives of those first deportees to create an
important addition to Holocaust literature and women's history.
