Overview
Mala Zimetbaum era una joven encantadora, culta y carismática. Hablaba varios idiomas y las SS la eligieron como intérprete y traductora. Una mujer de gran generosidad, que ayudaba en todos los sentidos a sus compañeros de prisión. Edek, Edward Galinski, era una persona fuera de lo común: uno de los primeros deportados a Auschwitz-Birkenau. Fue testigo del nacimiento y crecimiento de la máquina de genocidio, pero nunca se dio por vencido. En 1944, aunque el Tercer Reich se aproximaba a la derrota, en los campos de exterminio la masacre continuaba.
En este entorno Edek y Mala, enamorados, van al encuentro de su destino. Un cuento de hadas sin final feliz, como a veces ocurre en las historias reales, que la periodista Francesca Paci reconstruye por primera vez a través de fuentes extraídas de los archivos del Museo Estatal de Auschwitz, documentos de la época y conversaciones con los pocos testigos de esta historia de amor que siguen vivos.
