Summary:
Eight months after Germany's invasion of Poland, the Nazis roll into The Netherlands, expanding their reign of brutality to the Dutch. But by the Winter of 1943, resistance is growing. Among those fighting their brutal Nazi occupiers are two Jewish sisters, Janny and Lien Brilleslijper from Amsterdam. Risking arrest and death, the sisters helped save dozens of lives, were captured by the Nazis, and ultimately survived the Holocaust. The Sisters of Auschwitz is a long-overdue homage to two young women's heroism and moral bravery-and a reminder of the power each of us has to change the world.
