In a place built for death, one woman fought to save life.
An elderly doctor stands before a room of students in a lecture hall. What unfolds is a story of courage, brutality and survival.

Forced into the women’s barracks under the command of Josef Mengele, she faces starvation, disease and relentless brutality. Every day she must make impossible choices, using her skills to save the women the camp has marked for death.
As she endures hunger, violence and the loss of everyone she loves, Gisella refuses to surrender the one thing the Nazis cannot take from her: her duty to protect life. In the shadows of the infirmary, she becomes a quiet force of resistance, risking her life to shield others from the fate worse than death…
Inspired by true event, The Angel of Auschwitz is a powerful and deeply human novel about survival, sacrifice and a doctor who fought back in the only way she could. Perfect for readers of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, Cilka’s Journeyand The Sisters of Auschwitz.
