'Haunting and powerfully resonant... this is a story not just of remarkable individuals but
also a tribute to the wider indomitability of the human spirit at the darkest moment in
European history' - Sinclair McKay bestselling author of Berlin and Dresden Zippi Spitzer and
David Wisnia's story began when they first locked eyes across the work floor. It was the start
of a romance that could have unfolded anywhere if it weren't for one key difference: Zippi and
David were prisoners in history's most infamous death camp. David and Zippi defied the odds by
surviving for years beneath the ash-choked skies of Auschwitz. Shielded by the protection of
their fellow inmates saved on occasion by their own ingenuity and twists of fate their love
affair reminded them that their old world still existed - a world of possibilities of freedom
and desire. As the war's end drew near little did they know just how far their lives would
diverge and how many years would pass before they would meet again. An unbelievable true story
of romance sacrifice loss and resilience Lovers in Auschwitz chronicles the lives of two
young people ensnared in the Nazis' horrific creation who discovered hope and humanity in
history's darkest hour.
