The Girl Who Escaped from Auschwitz

Mala, convict 19880, realized this the instant she stepped off the cattle train into hell. As an SS translator, she utilizes her position to save as many lives as she can, sneaking crumbs of bread to people in need. Inmate 531, Edward, is a camp veteran and a political prisoner. Though he appears to be ordinary, with a shaven head and striped suit, he is a member of the underground Resistance. And he has a plan to get out.

They are imprisoned for no other reason than that they exist. When they meet, the dark shadow of Auschwitz is illuminated by a ray of hope. Edward persuades Mala that the unthinkable is doable. They will exit this death camp despite being ringed by electric wire, machine guns atop countless watchtowers, and searchlights strewn everywhere. They make a pact that they would either escape together or die together. What follows is one of history's greatest love stories.
