Publisher's Summary
Perfect for listeners of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Choice and The Librarian of Auschwitz - this is the international best-selling and life-affirming true story of female bravery and surviving the horrors of Auschwitz.
New York Times bestseller
Winner of the Opzij Literature Prize 2019
They knew their survival depended on each other.
They had to live for each other.
It is 1940, and the Final Solution is about to begin. The Nazis have occupied The Netherlands, but resistance is growing and two Jewish sisters - Janny and Lien Brilleslijper - are risking their lives to save those being hunted, through their clandestine safehouse 'The High Nest'. It becomes one of the most important safehouses in the country, but when the house and its occupants are betrayed, the most terrifying time of the sisters' lives begins. This is the beginning of the end.
With German defeat in sight, the Brilleslijper family are put on the last train to Auschwitz, along with Anne Frank and her family. What comes next challenges the sisters beyond human imagination, as they are stripped of everything but their courage, resilience and love for each other.

I struggled to follow some characters, names and pronunciations early on, but once I re-listened to some chapters I was fine and was enjoyable. I've listened to a fair few books on this topic and it still wonder how it could possibly happen. not a chance nowadays.

female resistance fighters WW2 story being told.
An important story to read/ hear. lessons we must learn to never repeat history. A story about female resistance fighters and their love and loss centered around The High Nest. A wonderfully written story.

Amazing
A slow start, this book took a couple of chapters to really engage me but then I couldn’t stop listening, such a fascinating but obviously sad story to listen to. A must read!

What a story
I loved this book, I love/hate everything to do with Auschwitz. They break my heart but it’s so good to know that even though they have been through so much trauma and loss that they were still so strong and survived.
