ALT This never-before-told true story of a young woman's escape from Auschwitz with her sister is a remarkable tale of unimaginable courage, family, faith and enduring love. Winner of the 2025 Hemingway Award Grand Prize, for 20th Century Wartime Fiction, and multiple other awards. "...readers will admire Hinda's devotion to her family and her determination to resist her Nazi captors as they attempt to dehumanize her. There's also a remarkable love story at the heart of this novel—a relationship that will surprise and delight readers for its ability to withstand the most terrible of circumstances... A moving work..." ─Kirkus Reviews Hinda was eighteen years old when an axe crashed through the front door of her home in Poland. Nazi soldiers swarmed inside and herded the family into an army truck and hauled them away for one lone reason: They were Jews. World War II and the Hitler-induced Holocaust was in full swing.

Tragically, its large courtyard was also utilized as a brutal collection point to herd the city's remaining Jewish population before transport to death camps. • Today, the White Stork Synagogue stands fully restored and functions not only as an active house of worship for the local Jewish community, but also as a vibrant cultural, educational, and museum center hosting exhibitions, concerts, and events dedicated to preserving Jewish heritage in Lower Silesia.
