Contra todo pronóstico, David y Zippi sobrevivieron durante años bajo el cielo cubierto de cenizas de Auschwitz. Con el tiempo, su amor creció y se fortaleció gracias a la protección de los compañeros del campo, su propia ingenuidad y giros del destino. Su aventura les permitió recordar que la vida anterior al Holocausto aún existía, una vida de posibilidades, de libertad y de anhelo. A medida que la guerra llegaba a su fin, los jóvenes comenzaron a planear su reencuentro, pero jamás se habrían imaginado cuán distintos serían los caminos de cada uno ni cuántos años transcurrirían hasta que volvieran a encontrarse.

Los amantes de Auschwitz relata la historia tan extraordinaria como real de dos jóvenes atrapados por el horror nazi que lograron hallar luz y humanidad en medio de la oscuridad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The "mesmerizing and inspirational" (Judy Batalion) true story of two Holocaust survivors who fell in love in Auschwitz, only to be separated upon liberation and lead remarkable lives apart following the war--and then find each other again more than 70 years later.

Zippi Spitzer and David Wisnia were captivated by each other from the moment they first exchanged glances across the work floor. It was the beginning of a love story that could have happened anywhere. Except for one difference: this romance was unfolding in history's most notorious death camp, between two young prisoners whose budding intimacy risked dooming them if they were caught.

Incredibly, David and Zippi survived for years beneath the ash-choked skies of Auschwitz. Under the protection of their fellow inmates, their romance grew and deepened, even as their brushes with death mounted and David's luck in particular seemed close to running out. As the war's end finally approached and the time came for them to leave the camp, David and Zippi made plans to meet again. But neither of them could imagine how long their reunion would take or how many lives they would live in the interim. They had no inkling, either, of the betrayals that would await them along the way. But David did suspect that Zippi harbored a secret--one that could explain the mystery of his survival all those years ago.

An unbelievable tale of romance, sacrifice, loss, and resilience, Lovers in Auschwitz is a saga of two young people who found themselves trapped inside a waking nightmare of the Nazis' creation, yet who nevertheless discovered a love that sustained them through history's darkest hour.
