ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The moving and striking true love story of a young Jewish couple, narrated by their granddaughter 80 years later.
Darcy Lee reminds us in her book The Heart of Auschwitz that love can overcome hate even in extreme situations. The author recounts the emotional story of her grandparents, Genie and Feliks, and the reason that allowed them to endure in the midst of darkness: a leather heart that Feliks made from the sole of his shoe in Dachau, and which, against all odds, he managed to get to Genie in Auschwitz. This heart is the representation of one of the most powerful acts of affection in our history.
The book offers a detailed portrait of daily life in the concentration camps, where horror coexists with optimism, anticipating the reunion of the protagonists. Darcy Lee gives voice to her grandparents to share a story that not only invites reflection, but also inspires, keeping alive the legacy of so many victims.
A book that calls on us not to forget the atrocities of the Holocaust, especially in an increasingly turbulent world. A powerful story of love and resistance that is impossible to forget.
