Description
Millions of people walked into Auschwitz, but she was the first woman who escaped. This powerful novel is inspired by the true story of Mala Zimetbaum, whose fate altered the course of history...
Nobody leaves Auschwitz alive.
Mala, inmate 19880, understood that the moment she stepped off the cattle train into the depths of hell. As an interpreter for the SS, she uses her position to save as many lives as she can.
Edward, inmate 531, is a camp veteran and a political prisoner. Crucially, he's also part of the underground Resistance. And he has an escape plan.
When Mala meets Edward, he makes her believe in the impossible: they will leave this death camp. A promise is made—they will escape together or they will die together. What follows is one of the greatest love stories in history...
Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Choice, and The Orphan Train will love this breathtakingly beautiful tale, of courage in the face of tragedy and bravery in the face of fear. Inspired by a true story, The Girl Who Escaped from Auschwitz shows that, in darkness, love can be your light...

About the Author
Ellie Midwood is a USA Today bestselling and award-winning historical fiction author. She owes her interest in the history of the Second World War to her grandfather, Junior Sergeant in the 2nd Guards Tank Army of the First Belorussian Front, who began telling her about his experiences on the frontline when she was a young girl. Growing up, her interest in history only deepened and transformed from reading about the war to writing about it.
After obtaining her BA in Linguistics, Ellie decided to make writing her full-time career and began working on her first full-length historical novel, The Girl from Berlin.' Ellie is continuously enriching her library with new research material and feeds her passion for WWII and Holocaust history by collecting rare memorabilia and documents.In her free time, Ellie is a health-obsessed yoga enthusiast, neat freak, adventurer, Nazi Germany history expert, polyglot, philosopher, a proud Jew, and a doggie mama. Ellie lives in New York with her fiance and their Chihuahua named Shark Bait.Also by Ellie Midwood
