Reviews
‘Zdenka’s story made a lasting impression. She endured horrors the like of which most of us cannot begin to comprehend, yet never lost the will to live or her optimism for a better future. During her time in the camps she kept a little tin ring, made for her by her boyfriend. She risked her life to keep this humble object that meant so much to her.’ Fiona Bruce, BBC presenter and news journalist.
