A Thousand Mothers

by Brenda Marie Webb

Overview

In December 1942, the Nazis deported Perl Kaczlowicz from the Plonsk ghetto in Poland and sent her to Ravensbrück, the infamous women only concentration camp. She said goodbye to her husband that fateful morning not knowing she was expecting their first child, or that she would never see him again.

While imprisoned at the camp, she meets Helene Dvorak and other extraordinary women who risk their lives to save her and her baby from the brutality and unimaginable cruelty surrounding them. The women bond together to form friendships and lasting ties that endure through the horrors of the Holocaust and long after liberation.

From the hell of Ravensbrück to Montreal and Savanah, A Thousand Mothers tells the story of the resilient spirit of women and the astounding power of loyalty, courage, and love during the darkest days of the twentieth century.
