Almost a thousand Jewish girls - others slightly older than 16 - were gathered from all over Slovakia in the spring of 1942. They were told that they were going to work in German-occupied Poland and that their absence would last no longer than a few months. Thus began the first wave of deportations of Slovak Jews to concentration camps. For each expelled, the Slovak government pledged to transfer 500 Reichsmarks to Germany, allegedly in the form of reimbursement of expenses for vocational training and their placement in a new place. In fact, this money served as a guarantee that no one would return home. In 1942, 57,628 Jews were deported from Slovakia; of these, according to available data, no more than 800 people survived. The author managed to recreate the stories of the women from the first train to Auschwitz and their daily lives - and deaths - in an "efficient" death factory. This book is evidence of how you can remain a person in inhuman circumstances.
