A LITTLE GIRL IN AUSCHWITZ - LIDIA MAKSYMOWICZ ...

The No. 1 international bestseller  with a foreword by His Holiness Pope Francis  who made
headlines in 2021 when he kissed Lidia's Auschwitz identification tattoo.    The unforgettable
moving true story of the little girl who survived Auschwitz's 'Angel of Death'  Dr Mengele.  
Lidia was just three years old when she arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau with her mother  a member
of the partisan resistance from Belarus. The bewildered little girl was picked out by Dr Josef
Mengele for his sadistic experiments and sent to the infamous children's block  where every day
was a fight for survival. In eighteen months of hell she came close to death more than once. 
Her mother  who risked her life to visit Lidia  gave her strength. But when the camp was
liberated  her mother was gone  presumed dead. Lidia  by now deeply traumatised  was adopted by
a Polish woman. But then  in 1962  she discovered that her birth parents were still alive in
the USSR  and Lidia was faced with an agonising choice . . .  Lidia's extraordinary story has
touched hearts around the world  and she has made it her mission to bear witness to the
Holocaust so that the truth may never be forgotten. This is a powerful and ultimately hopeful
account by a remarkable woman who refuses to hate those who hurt her. She says  'Hate only
brings more hate. Love  on the other hand  has the power to redeem.'   'Unforgettable' - Daily
Mail    "A traumatic and affecting story of survival."- Publishers Weekly   Previously
