An incredible, inspirational story of resilience, resourcefulness, and maternal courage unfolds against the backdrop of the Holocaust. In 1944, Priska, Rachel, and Anka, newly pregnant and facing an uncertain fate without their husbands, entered Auschwitz II-Birkenau. Alone and terrified, they were determined to protect their lives and those of their unborn babies. Miraculously, the gas chambers ran out of Zyklon-B just after their babies were born, allowing them to survive and rebuild their lives after World War II. Their harrowing journey began in Auschwitz, where they faced the scrutiny of Dr. Josef Mengele, and continued to a German slave labor camp, where they struggled to conceal their pregnancies while enduring starvation and grueling work. As the Allies advanced, they embarked on a hellish 17-day train journey to the Mauthausen death camp in Austria, where many perished. Yet, the courage and kindness of strangers, including guards and civilians, played a crucial role in saving these women and their children. Sixty-five years later, the three "miracle babies" reunited at Mauthausen to commemorate the anniversary of their liberation. Bound by their extraordinary experiences of survival, they now consider each other "siblings of the heart." This heart-stopping account celebrates the capacity for love and care amid unimaginable cruelty.

As a graduate student in 1942, Eva was forced to flee Paris after the arrest of her father, a Polish Jew. Finding refuge in a small mountain town in the Free Zone, she begins forging identity documents for Jewish children fleeing to neutral Switzerland. But erasing people comes with a price, and Eva decides she must find a way to preserve the real names of the children who are too young to remember who they really are. Sixty-five years later, a book is discovered that appears to contain some sort of code, but researchers don't know where it came from, or what the code means. Only Eva holds the answer, but will she have the strength to revisit old memories and help reunite those lost during the war?
