Description
The continuation of “The Auschwitz Midwife”
The war is over. Her struggle is not.
In 1945, Esther Pasternak leaves Auschwitz alive—but without her daughter. Her newborn, Pippa, a fair-haired girl, is taken by a German family. Before their separation, Esther manages to do the only thing possible: leave her camp number on her baby’s body—an inscribed mark that one day must help locate the child. Ruined Berlin, endless lists of the missing, orphanages and hospitals—years of searching in which hope flares up and then fades away again. Esther tries to begin life anew, but she never stops waiting.
In 1961, when the truth finally comes closer than ever, Berlin splits into two countries overnight. A wall rises, borders slam shut, and any crossing turns into a dangerous adventure. The reunion is almost real—and yet again it slips away.
“The Midwife of Berlin” is a searing historical novel about a woman who has endured the camps, a new loss, and decades of waiting to prove that history may have a limit—but a mother’s love does not.
