A train in winter : an extraordinary story of women, friendship and survival in World War Two
Caroline. Moorehead
Resumen
:
On an icy morning in Paris in January 1943, 230 French women resisters were rounded up from the Gestapo detention camps and sent on a train to Auschwitz-the only train in the four years of German occumpation, to take women of the Resistance to a death camp. Caroline Moorehead's remarkable book is the story of these women. It is about who they were, how and why they joined the Resistance, how they were captured, their journey to Auschwitz and their daily life in the death camps - and what it was like for the 49 survivors when they returned to France.
