Auschwitz, 1942: Her entire body trembles as she stands in the infirmary and realises the horrifying truth. She's a nurse, but instead of saving her fellow inmates, she's about to be ordered to kill them... Surrounded by thick fog from the nearby forest, Orli stumbles from the cattle truck onto the frostbitten grounds of Auschwitz. Betrayed by her own husband for being a German resistance fighter, she has no one left in the world, and this is now her home. Orli breathes a sign of relief when her nursing skills mean she's assigned to work in the infirmary. Even in this hell on earth, she can still try to save some lives. But when she's instructed to assist Dr Josef Mengele, she soon learns that he is known as The Angel of Death, and is the most feared man in Auschwitz. At his evil hands, thousands of inmates are cruelly killed and experimented on. And if Orli is to survive, she will have to help him. But how can she live with herself if she sentences her fellow inmates to death? As she stares into his eyes, she soon realises her resistance work is not over. She has to stay and find a way to stop this monster----even if that means she will pay the ultimate price. Inspired by the incredible true story of Orli Reichert, this unforgettable World War Two novel brings to life the powerful tale of a woman who risked everything to fight against evil. Fans of The Choice and The Tattooist of Auschwitz will be utterly gripped by this unputdownable page-turner. Readers love Ellie Midwood: "Jaw-dropping... This is a book that needs to be read...

Palkitun bestseller-kirjailijan vaikuttava romaani perustuu tositarinaan Mala Zimetbaumista, jonka kohtalo muutti historiaa. Miljoonat ihmiset kävelivät sisään Auschwitzin porteista, mutta hän oli ensimmäinen nainen, joka pakeni.“Saa otteeseensa ensimmäiseltä sivulta eikä päästä irti ennen kuin luet viimeisiä sivuja kyyneleet silmissäsi.” – Lukija-arvostelu, Goodreads.Mala astui karjajunasta helvetin syvyyksiin. SS:n tulkkina hän käytti pian asemaansa pelastaakseen niin monta ihmishenkeä kuin mahdollista, salakuljettamalla leivänpaloja nälkäisille epätoivoisille.Edward oli leirin veteraani ja poliittinen vanki. Vaikka hän näytti samalta kuin kaikki muut raidallisessa univormussaan ja pää ajeltuna, hän oli vastarintaliikkeen taistelija. Ja hänellä on pakosuunnitelma.Kun he tapasivat, Auschwitzin synkkää varjoa valaisi toivon pilkahdus. Edward sai Malan uskomaan mahdottomaan. Huolimatta ympäröivistä vaaroista, loputtomista vartiotorneista, sotilaista ja valonheittimistä, lupaus oli annettu – he pakenisivat yhdessä tai kuolisivat yhdessä. Henkeäsalpaavan kaunis tarina osoittaa, että pimeydessä rakkaus voi olla valosi.New Yorkissa asuva Ellie Midwood on palkittu kirjailija, jonka historialliset romaanit ovat yltäneet USA Today -bestsellerlistalle. Hän on natsi-Saksan historian asiantuntija ja monikielinen filosofi.

Ellie Midwoodin Auschwitzin viulisti on tositarinan innoittama romaani, joka herättää henkiin yhden historian rohkeimmista sankareista.Auschwitzissa jokainen päivä on selviytymistaistelua. Alma on suljettuna piikkilankojen sisään tuhansien muiden kanssa. Joka päivä ihmisiä katoaa, eikä heitä nähdä enää koskaan. Ennen sotaa Alma oli arvostettu viulisti, jonka esitykset saivat yleisön lumoutumaan. Mutta kun natsit nousivat valtaan, mikään ei voinut pelastaa häntä.Kun Alma määrätään johtamaan leirin orkesteria, joka esiintyisi niin töihin raahautuville vangeille kuin korkea-arvoisille natseille, hän kieltäytyy. Pian Alma kuitenkin tajuaa, millaista valtaa asema tarjoaa: hän voisi antaa nälkää näkeville tytöille lisäannoksia ja pelastaa monet kuoleman kynsistä.Näin Alma tapaa Miklosin, lahjakkaan pianistin. Epätoivon ympäröimänä he löytävät pieniä onnen hetkiä yhteisistä harjoituksista, salaisista muistiinpanoista ja konserteista, joita he pitävät yhdessä. Mutta voiko heidän rakkautensa selvitä toivottomassa paikassa?Auschwitzin viulisti on musertavan sydäntäsärkevä mutta silti toiveikas tarina, joka todistaa, että synkimmissäkin päivissä rakkaus voi antaa ihmiselle jotain, minkä vuoksi elää. Auschwitzin tanssijan, Auschwitzin kätilön ja Auschwitzin tatuoijan fanit menettävät varmasti sydämensä tälle upealle tarinalle.""Kyyneleet eivät koskaan loppuneet, ja luin tämän yhdellä istumalla. En lukemisen helppoudesta, vaan silkasta kyvyttömyydestä laskea kirjaa käsistäni.” – The Hist Fic Chic ”Ehdottomasti pitää olla nenäliinat käsillä!” – Goodreads Ellie Midwood on palkittu historiallisten romaanien kirjoittaja, jonka huippusuositut teokset ovat yltäneet USA Today -bestsellerlistalle. Hänen kirjojaan on käännetty 19 kielelle. Hänen kiinnostuksensa toisen maailmansodan historiaan heräsi, kun hän kuunteli veteraani isoisänsä kertomuksia. Ellie on natsi-Saksan historian asiantuntija, monikielinen filosofi ja ylpeä juutalainen. Hän asuu New Yorkissa sulhasensa ja Shark Bait -nimisen chihuahuan kanssa.

Sitten harmaapukuinen upseeri marssii Helenan luokse ja vetää hänet syrjään; on erään vartijan syntymäpäivä, ja Helena on käsketty juhliin laulamaan. Kun Helena on laulunsa laulanut, päivänsankari Franz painaa palan kakkua hänen käsiinsä ja määrää, että Helenan henki on säästettävä.

Ellie is a sweet-natured brunette, generous of heart with a sparkling smile and an accent which reveals her East End background. Bonny is beautiful and spoilt, with cascades of blonde hair, the brightest pair of blue eyes and a mouth like Cupid's bow. The two girls meet in London at the end of the war when, seduced by two American airmen, they pool their wits and resources and set off to make a living on the stage. Set against the hardship and austerity of post-war Britain, and the glamour and ruthlessness of life in variety theatre, their story is one of sacrifice and burning ambition. But most of all of a powerful friendship that lasts against all odds.
