anabel_unker 's review for:
The Midwife of Auschwitz
by Anna Stuart
*I received a copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this opportunity*
Inspired by the incredible actions of Stanislawa Leszczyńska, THE MIDWIFE OF AUSCHWITZ primarily follows two women, Ana and Ester. This is a story set in one of the darkest times of humanity, and it does not shy away from the horrors prisoners endured while in Auschwitz. But at its roots, this story is one of hope and perseverance.
Ana, a well-known Polish midwife, is taken into Nazi custody on suspicions of her family's ties to the rebellion. She takes Ester, a nurse and Jew, under her wing and the two help deliver over 3,000 infants in a hellish maternity "ward".
I would highly recommend this book to any fan of WWII historical fiction-- or books such as "The Alice Network", "The Tattooist of Auschwitz", or "The Nightingale".
