- An Italian-Jewish journalist and schoolteacher who joined the partisans in 1943, Liana Millu was arrested in 1944 and deported to Birkenau. The astonishing stories in this book tell of the women who lived and suffered alongside Liana during her months there. They are stories of violence and tragedy, but also of resistance, of dreaming in the middle of a nightmare, and of the endurance of the human spirit.
