Born Survivors: Three Young Mothers and Their Extraordinary Story of Courage, Defiance, and Hope

Written by Wendy Holden, Born Survivors tells the incredible true story of three pregnant women—Priska, Rachel, and Anka—who were imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps and fought to keep their unborn children alive. Despite losing their husbands and enduring starvation, forced labor, and constant fear, they managed to hide their pregnancies from Nazi doctors like Josef Mengele. As the war neared its end, each woman gave birth under unimaginable conditions—on a train, in a camp, or just before liberation. Miraculously, all three mothers and their babies survived, a testament to their strength, hope, and defiance in the face of evil.
