999 : the extraordinary young women of the first official Jewish transport to Auschwitz
Macadam, Heather Dune2021
Book
On March 25, 1942, nearly a thousand young, unmarried Jewish women, many of them teenagers, boarded a train in Poprad, Slovakia. Believing they were going to work in a factory for a few months, they were eager to report for government service and left their parents' homes wearing their best cloths and confidently waving good-bye. Instead, the young women were sent to Auschwitz. Only a few would survive. Now Heather Dune Macadam reveals their stories, drawing on extensive interviews with survivors, and consulting with historians, witnesses, and relatives of those first deportees to create an important addition to Holocaust literature and women's history.
