About this listen

Perfect for listeners of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Choice and The Librarian of Auschwitz - this is the international best-selling and life-affirming true story of female bravery and surviving the horrors of Auschwitz.

New York Times bestseller

Winner of the Opzij Literature Prize 2019

They knew their survival depended on each other.

They had to live for each other.

It is 1940, and the Final Solution is about to begin. The Nazis have occupied The Netherlands, but resistance is growing and two Jewish sisters - Janny and Lien Brilleslijper - are risking their lives to save those being hunted, through their clandestine safehouse 'The High Nest'. It becomes one of the most important safehouses in the country, but when the house and its occupants are betrayed, the most terrifying time of the sisters' lives begins. This is the beginning of the end.

With German defeat in sight, the Brilleslijper family are put on the last train to Auschwitz, along with Anne Frank and her family. What comes next challenges the sisters beyond human imagination, as they are stripped of everything but their courage, resilience and love for each other.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Very interesting story about these two brave women although I found the narrators pronunciation of names and places very annoying, It sounded like she was choking at times and it did spoil my enjoyment of the book, I think it was the second or third chapter before I could figure out the names of the characters and Ibeing very familiar with the street names myself possibly made her pronunciation more annoying to me.

Amazing women
