ONLY LOVE HAS THE POWER TO ILLUMINATE THE DARKEST PLACE ON EARTH
After captivating thousands of readers with Auschwitz Lullaby, Mario Escobar ventures once more into the abyss to bring us this great love story.
1943. Amid the horror, a beautiful song echoes through Auschwitz. The singer is David, a young Jew tasked with transporting bodies to the camp crematorium. The melody reaches the ears of a Nazi official, who is enchanted by David's voice. And he's not the only one: Helen Spitzer, whose job it is to wash the soldiers' uniforms, is also drawn in by the young man's talent. The two prisoners form a bond they never expected to feel in a hell like this. The arrival of a new physician at the camp threatens their relationship, however, as the ruthless Dr. Mengele forces Helen to help him with his macabre experiments... Tragedy and love unite David and Helen, with the ever-present caveat that, under the Nazis, every day could be their last.
