Set against the harrowing backdrop of Auschwitz in 1942, the narrative follows Magda Hellinger, a young Jewish kindergarten teacher who becomes a leader among fellow prisoners. Tasked with managing accommodation blocks, she navigates the perilous balance of saving lives while avoiding the attention of the Nazis. Through her resilience and ingenuity, Magda forms crucial bonds with the women she leads and even some of her captors. This poignant account, enriched by her daughter's research, explores the depths of human nature and the capacity for goodness amidst unimaginable cruelty.
