Voices of Memory 5. Pregnant Women and Children Born in Auschwitz

by Helena Kubica

The fifth volume in the "Voices of Memory" series is devoted to the youngest Auschwitz prisoners, the children born there and their mothers.

The author of this volume, Helena Kubica, has spent many years, studying the camp records and accounts by survivors. She has collected the photographs that are presented to the readers. The picture that emerges is one of the unimaginable suffering, woe, and monstrous crime, that left an indelible mark on those who lived through it. The tragedy of expectant mothers in the camp was not only an utter contradiction of the joy of motherhood, but even more so an absolute violation of natural law and human dignity.
