Love In the Striped World of Auschwitz “Lovers in Auschwitz”: A True Story
“Mud sucked at her boots; spring´s thaw was setting in. Lombardy poplar trees were scattered at random, their leaves dried out, twigs like arthritic fingers pointing to the darkening sky. They marched toward a massive steel gate. A Gothic-lettered sign inscribed with tall letters gave her pause: Arbeit macht frei —work will set you free” - Lovers in AuschwitzNeţe BÝNARK

Cover of Keren Blankfeld´s book "Lovers in Auschwitz"
I hadn't read a book for five days when I got into the book and lived through what was written. In Keren Blankfeld's book "Lovers in Auschwitz"; I watched a live simulation of life before the concentration camps, Auschwitz and Nazi hell, the trauma after liberation, and the psychologies that influence decisions to move on. Is it love? Yes! Human sensitivity, yes! Is it the power of the will to survive? Yes! However, "No" to inhuman torments, torture, and deaths! “Lovers in Auschwitz” is not a book, but a movie. It's a movie that journalist-writer Keren Blankfeld has meticulously woven into our minds, the scenes of which will never leave our eyes! You will read the lines of Keren Blankfeld's detailed scientific research, laced with exciting human elements, with pain and empathy. "What can a woman do to keep the man she loves alive? Hello from Bibliobibuli with the book "Lovers in Auschwitz" written by Keren Blankfeld.
The human soul is indestructible
You will read a book that sheds light on a dark period in our dreams, with the destruction plans of extraordinary evil in the background and the unreasonable resistance of people focused on survival, the bonding love between people, and the resistance of some Auschwitz prisoners who took unimaginable risks and saved thousands of people. When you read the scenes that Keren Blankfeld describes in detail from a scientific perspective, you will not be able to get out of this book like me. The mud you stepped in with the Auschwitz prisoners will soak into your shoes, you will get lice, you will cut your nails as if you were removing them, and you will have your hair shaved so that it will never grow back. You will be hungry, you will be sick, you will be nauseous, you will be breathless in fear of protecting your life. Your neck will be freed from the rope many times, and you will painfully hear the mocking laughter of those who put that rope around your neck. You will experience that dark period "Holocaust" as a simulation in Keren Blankfeld's words.
