Auschwitz Rose
Even in Hell, love can bloom.
Adriana Zöbel is a strikingly beautiful young woman when she is deported to Auschwitz from her home in Czechoslovakia.
Alone in the death camp, Adriana catches the eye of Mattias Traugott, a sadistic and corrupt guard who will do everything in his power to keep her alive.
But Traugott's affection is a double-edged sword that she must wield very carefully less she chop off her own head. Adriana quickly realizes that everybody wants something from her - Traugott, his enemies, the investigators looking into his crimes, the other inmates, even her own sister when she turns up at Auschwitz... All have their own agenda, and Adriana finds herself torn between her hatred for the Nazis and this undreamed-of opportunity of exploiting Traugott's feelings for her benefit and that of others.
And even years later, long after the camp has been liberated and Adriana is trying to rebuild her life, Auschwitz's tentacles keep reaching for her across time and space.
This book was inspired by the true of Helena Citronova and Franz Wunsch.
