The "mesmerizing and inspirational" (Judy Batalion) true story of two
Holocaust survivors who fell in love in Auschwitz, only to be separated upon
liberation and lead remarkable lives apart following the war--and then find
each other again more than 70 years later.
Zippi Spitzer and David Wisnia were captivated by each other from the moment
they first exchanged glances across the work floor. It was the beginning of a
love story that could have happened anywhere. Except for one difference: this
romance was unfolding in history's most notorious death camp, between two
young prisoners whose budding intimacy risked dooming them if they were
caught.
Incredibly, David and Zippi survived for years beneath the ash-choked skies of
Auschwitz. Under the protection of their fellow inmates, their romance grew
and deepened, even as their brushes with death mounted and David's luck in
particular seemed close to running out. As the war's end finally approached
and the time came for them to leave the camp, David and Zippi made plans to
meet again. But neither of them could imagine how long their reunion would
take or how many lives they would live in the interim. They had no inkling,
either, of the betrayals that would await them along the way. But David did
suspect that Zippi harbored a secret--one that could explain the mystery of
his survival all those years ago.
An unbelievable tale of romance, sacrifice, loss, and resilience, Lovers in
Auschwitz is a saga of two young people who found themselves trapped inside a
waking nightmare of the Nazis' creation, yet who nevertheless discovered a
love that sustained them through history's darkest hour.
