Description
The story of a brave German nurse who sacrificed everything for her family and fought fiercely for her children, who became prisoners of Auschwitz (Auschwitz).
Helene Hannenmann, her husband Johann, and their five children move to Berlin in search of a better life. In a big city, you can dissolve—become invisible. And that is the best way to survive in the new Germany: to turn into a ghost. But Helene’s worst fears come true when her husband—a virtuoso violinist—is first dismissed from the Berlin Conservatory and then, by order of the SS, arrested together with the children. Because all of them have Gypsy roots. Even though Helene is German and the arrest doesn’t apply to her, she refuses to abandon her family. In the camp, she faces an even more fateful choice: to surrender and submit to fate—or to fight and save the little prisoners of Auschwitz (Auschwitz) at the cost of her own life.
The book has two endings: an artistic one and a real one—every listener decides for themselves how the story of Helene and her family will end.
