Even though it occurred more than 70 years ago, the story’s truth is so chillingly portrayed that it seems as if it could have happened recently. . . . An engrossing, intense, and highly descriptive narrative chronicling the ghastly conditions three pregnant women suffered through at the hands of the Nazis.” — Kirkus Reviews on Born Survivors
“Holden deftly weaves together the stories of three women-Priska, Rachel, and Anka-whose children were born in Nazi concentration camps during the last chaotic weeks of World War II. The author’s analysis of each woman’s experiences. . . provide[s] valuable insight into the stark choices faced by Jews during the Holocaust. This book is recommended for a wide audience and all libraries.” — Library Journal on Born Survivors
“An astonishing and deeply moving work. . . . With remarkable detail gleaned from a wealth of research.” — Booklist (starred review) on Born Survivors
