The Auschwitz Midwife. Based on real events

1943. Ana Kaminski passes through the gates of Auschwitz alongside her frightened young friend Esther Pasternak. Approaching the front of the line, Ana steps forward and quietly declares herself a midwife — and Esther her assistant. They receive tattoos with... numbers and are sent to the maternity barracks. Ana understands that the fate of the women is in her hands and vows to do everything possible to save them — and their babies. Soon, the Lebensborn program begins in Auschwitz: healthy children with light hair are sent to German families. Ana and Esther secretly tattoo the infants with the numbers of their mothers in the hope that one day they will be reunited. It isn't until an early morning that Ana notices the rounded belly under Esther's thin striped dress... Inspired by an incredible true story, this poignant novel tells the tale of women's struggle for love, life, and hope in times of unimaginable darkness.
