Based on the real-life story of Mala Zimetbaum—the first woman to escape Auschwitz—and resistance fighter Edward “Edek” Galiński, the novel follows their bond forged in hell. Mala’s role as an interpreter for the SS allows her to quietly defy orders and save lives, while Edek’s meticulous escape plans give them hope. Together, they vow to escape or die trying. Their love, bravery, and sacrifice in the face of the camp’s horrors create a story that is as heart-wrenching as it is awe-inspiring.
