Summary:

Edith Grosman was seventeen when Slovak officials ordered unmarried Jewish girls to register for work service. Filled with a sense of national pride, she joined hundreds of other innocent young women who were under the false impression their patriotic duty would benefit their families. Instead, they were deported to Auschwitz as expendable slave labor. The Slovak government paid the Nazis the equivalent of $3000 to deport each girl. Through first-person testimony and rare archival material, we learn the little-known facts of the women's camp in 1942 and how a handful of the girls managed against all odds to survive over three long years of hell on earth.
