Overview

  • Amazing true story of how 999 unmarried, young Jewish women from Slovakia, most of them teenagers, became the first official transport to Auschwitz in March 1942. Who were these young women and how did a small number of them survive over 3 years in Auschwitz? Based on an international bestseller by Heather Dune Macadam, this powerful film sheds light on their formerly untold stories from a totally female perspective, based on archival documents and interviews with survivors now in their ‘90s.
