    Fredy built a wall against suffering in their hearts...At the dark heart of the Holocaust, there was a wooden hut whose walls were painted with cartoons; a place where children sang, staged plays and wrote poetry. Safely inside, but still in the shadow of the chimneys, they were given better food, kept free of vermin, and were even taught meditation to imagine full stomachs and a day without fear. The man who became their guiding light was a young Jewish prisoner named Fredy Hirsch.But being a teacher in such a brutal concentration camp was no mean feat.. Whether it was begging the SS for better provisions, or hiding his homosexuality from his persecutors, he risked his life every day for one thing: to protect the children from the mortal danger they all faced.Time is running out for Fredy and the hundreds of children in his care. Can he find a way to teach them the one lesson they really need to know: how to survive?Assiduously researched and drawn from archives and survivor testimonies, historian and biographer Wendy Holden tells the inspirational and uplifting true story of Fredy Hirsch: The Teacher of Auschwitz.

Distraught at the prospect of losing Sarah and recognizing what an idiot he has been, he enrolls in an experimental "School for Husbands," a clinic aimed at helping hopeless spouses mend their ways.

    Et enestående vidnesbyrd om nogle helt usædvanlige skæbner fortalt af den engelske journalist og forfatter Wendy Holden, der har samlet dem i en velresearchet ramme om Europa før og efter krigen. Tre unge, nygifte kvinder rives ud af deres gode liv og deporteres til Hitlers rædselslejre. I de sidste uger af 2. Verdenskrig bliver kvinderne, der nærmest er omvandrende skeletter, overført til udryddelseslejren Mauthausen. Det er lykkedes kvinderne at skjule, at de er gravide. Under ufattelige omstændigheder ser tre nye liv dagens lys med få dages mellemrum. På mirakuløs vis overlever både mødrene og spædbørnene, Eva, Hana og Mark, til amerikanske tropper endelig udfrier dem i maj 1945. I et nyhedsbrev i anledning af 65-årsdagen for Mauthausens befrielse beretter nogle US-veteraner om Hana og hendes mor. Historien når Eva og Mark, der hver især har troet, at de var den eneste overlevende baby i Mauthausen. Ved en mindehøjtidelighed i maj 2010 mødes de tre 'mirakler' før første gang. Deres fælles fortid binder dem sammen med et tæt bånd. Trioen indgår et samarbejde med den engelske forfatter Wendy Holden, for at kaste lys over deres mødres barske og umenneskelige tilværelse under krigen.
