'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.
