International bestselling author"--Cover. 500 $a Includes discussion questions. 520 $a On an otherwise ordinary morning in 1943, Helene Hannemann is preparing her five children for the day when the German police arrive at her home. Helene's worst fears come true when the police, under strict orders from the SS, demand that her children and husband, all of Romani heritage, be taken into custody. After a terrifying trek across the continent, Helene and her family arrive at Auschwitz and are thrown into the chaos of the camp. When the powers-that-be discover that Helene is not only a German but also a trained nurse, she is forced into service at the camp hospital, which is overseen by the notorious Dr. Mengele himself. Though physically and emotionally brutalized by the conditions at Auschwitz, Helene musters the strength to protect the children in her care at any cost. Based on a true story, Mario Escobar's Auschwitz Lullaby demonstrates the power of sacrifice and the strength of human dignity--even when all hope seems lost. 541 $d 20190416. 650 $a Auschwitz (Concentration camp) $v Fiction. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Prisoners and prisons $v Fiction. 650 $a Romanies $x Nazi persecution $v Fiction. 650 $a Concentration camp inmates $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a War stories. 941 $a 2 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20191029010935.0 952 $l WXPD305 $d 20190814020322.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=36AADAA0BE5911E99C58F60997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
