«Un treno per Auschwitz» is the historical essay by Caroline Moorehead, published by Newton Compton in hardcover (378 pages, in Italian).
In 1940, with the occupation of Paris and the Vichy regime, some French women join the Resistance: they hide Jews, transmit messages and deceive the Nazis. In 1943, 230 of them are arrested and deported to Auschwitz; only 49 return. The book portrays their courage, solidarity and friendship.
First installment of the Resistance series, published in the I volti della storia collection. The book was nominated for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize in 2012.
For those interested in World War II, the Holocaust and the French Resistance, and in the role of women in the conflict.
Caroline Mary Moorehead is a human rights journalist and biographer.
