"A haunting account of bravery, friendship, and endurance." -Marie
Claire
The riveting and little-known story of a group of female members of
the French resistance who were deported together to Auschwitz, a
remarkable number of whom survived.
In January 1943, 230 brave women of the French Resistance were sent to
the death camps by the Nazis who had invaded and occupied their country.
This is their story, told in full for the first time--a searing and
unforgettable chronicle of terror, courage, defiance, survival, and the
power of friendship.
Caroline Moorehead, a distinguished biographer, human rights journalist,
and author of Dancing to the Precipice and Human Cargo, brings to
life an extraordinary story that readers of Mitchell Zuckoff's Lost in
Shangri-La, Erik Larson's In the Garden of Beasts, and Laura
Hillenbrand's Unbroken will find an essential addition to our
retelling of the history of World War II. A Train in Winter is a
riveting, rediscovered story of courageous women who sacrificed
everything to combat the march of evil across the world.
