After Rosalie is saved by Oskar Schindler, the husband and wife end up at the Plaszow work camp under Amon Goeth, the bestial commandant played by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List. ...

Extremely good book, but very heart-breaking and devastating too. Today one of the authros talked to me, Rosalie, sadly her husband died of a stroke in december 2010, so it must be very hard on her to keep talking about it.
