An uplifting collection of real-life stories of the rebels, resistance fighters, saboteurs, escapees and survivors who held on to hope through the horrors of the Holocaust

When Auschwitz was liberated in 1945, after the horror of one of history's greatest atrocities, the world rejoiced. Seven thousand people had survived their ordeal, but the camp had also been witness to countless others who had resisted, sabotaged and even escaped from their captors. Some fought for their freedom, or against injustice. Others disrupted Nazi operations. And then there were those who found ways to hold on to hope and positivity and spread it to their fellow inmates; a source of light in one of the world's darkest places.

This book celebrates those heroes of Auschwitz, telling the inspiring true stories of the rebels, resistance fighters, saboteurs, escapees and survivors. At turns touching and uplifting, these stories show the best of humankind and are testament to the incredible resilience and bravery that shines through even in the toughest times.
