The international bestseller, with a foreword by His Holiness Pope Francis, who made headlines in 2021 when he kissed Lidia's identification tattoo from Auschwitz. The unforgettable, moving true story of the little girl who survived 'The Angel of Death', Dr. Mengele. Lidia was just three years old when she arrived at Auschwitz-Birkenau with her mother, a resistance member from Belarus. The confused little girl was chosen by Dr. Josef Mengele for his sadistic experiments and was sent to the Infamous children's block, where every day was a battle for survival. In eighteen months of hell, she came close to death many times. Her mother, who risked her life to visit Lidia, gave her strength. When the camp was liberated, her mother was lost, presumed dead. Lidia, now deeply traumatized, was adopted by a Polish woman. But in 1962, she discovered that her biological parents were still alive in the Soviet Union, and Lidia faced a torturous choice... Lidia's remarkable story has touched hearts around the world, and she has made it her mission to bear witness to the Holocaust so the truth is never forgotten. This is a powerful and ultimately hopeful narrative from a Remarkable Woman who refuses to hate those who hurt her. She says, 'Hate only begets more hate. Love, on the other hand, has the power to redeem.'
