Why read it?
1 author picked The Sisters of Auschwitz as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
An incredibly powerful book that sheds light on Jewish Resistance in the Netherlands, by two women. Both topics are rare and especially the combination of them.

This is exactly what my platform ‘Sophie’s Women of War’ sheds light on.
From Sophie's list on World War II heroines.
