On March 25, 1942, nearly a thousand young, unmarried Jewish women boarded a train in Poprad, Slovakia. Filled with a sense of adventure and national pride, they left their parents' homes wearing their best clothes and confidently waving good-bye. Believing they were going to work in a factory for a few months, they were eager to report for government service. Instead, the young women - many of them teenagers - were sent to Auschwitz. Their government paid 500 Reich Marks (about $200) apiece for the Nazis to take them as slave labor. Of those 999 innocent deportees, only a few would survive.

The facts of the first official Jewish transport to Auschwitz are little known, yet profoundly relevant today. These were not resistance fighters or prisoners of war. There were no men among them. Sent to almost certain death, the young women were powerless and insignificant not only because they were Jewish - but also because they were female. Now acclaimed author Heather Dune Macadam reveals their poignant stories, drawing on extensive interviews with survivors, and consulting with historians, witnesses, and relatives of those first deportees to create an important addition to Holocaust literature and women's history.

My only wish is that this would be mandatory reading for all the world to read. In today's society it seems everyone feels we deserve special privileges due to the way our ancestors were treated. I believe if everyone one truly looked backed through history were could all find injustices. None however in my eyes this cruel to so many men, women and children. This is a fact based masterpiece. So well written and performed and I will carry these pages in my heart for the rest of my life. Thank you for all your hard work and research.

Ms. Macadam writes about a painful chapter in World history. Single women from Slovakia were offered work, little did they know it was not to be. These young women knew each other in Slovakia and were the 1st Jews to be transported to Auschwitz. The book weaves together their journey and survival of the worst 3 years one can imagine. Yet, there is more than history. Their stories are stories of healing and of hope, of love and courage, of sisterhood.

I recommend reading their stories, not as another holocaust book, but to meet brave women who held onto hope as hard as that is to imagine.

Suzanne Toren narration is excellent.

Understanding transport and lies, Never Forget

Somehow this book made me understand more what it must have been like to be in the death camp. At first I found it annoying for the prisoner numbers to be interjected after each name, but after awhile I came to appreciate it and it actually enhanced the book greatly. I came to love these girls, and mourn for them and rejoice for them. I am a woman and perhaps partially because of that I found this to the most personal and informative account I have ever read. I am amazed, saddened, but most of all deeply humbled by their story.

Different than most Holocaust accounts

one of the most detailed and insight books on this subject that I have ever listed to. The cruelty is overwhelming but the ability to survive is truly memorable

Simply unimaginable

I found this book to be an outstanding example of another aspect of the Holocaust that has been hidden and forgotten. I had no idea that girls and young women were some of the first to be mislead, taken and confined in the concentration camps. I am shocked that any of these women survived.
The writing style of this author kept me focused on the book until it was finished. And it left me wanting more! The introduction of each person, the relationships and interrelationships of the woman flowed easily! Such a well scripted and intricate style takes great talent!
As a side note, I want to share that I had a great conversation about the people in the book with my 20-year-old grandson. He was interested in learning more.
To those who wrote or contributed in any way, I'd report you achieved your goal!
