999: The Extraordinary Young Women of the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz by Heather Dune MacAdam
4.0
Heart breaking and informative, this is not a light or easy read.
Often times when I read books on the Holocaust, unless they are written by survivors, I wonder how much has been assumed, or embellished by the author for the sake of the story.
However I never got that feeling with this book.
Macadams tells the story of the 999 young girls who, under the guise of going to work at a factory, made up the first transport of women to Auschwitz.
With firsthand accounts from Auschwitz survivors, this book is not for the faint of heart
