📖 About The Book

“We, Little Girls in Auschwitz” is a shocking and emotional testimony of two young sisters, Andra and Tatiana Bucci, who were only six and four years old when they were deported from their hometown in Rijeka to the notorious Auschwitz II - Birkenau concentration camp during World War II. This powerful narrative gives voice to the harrowing experiences of the Bucci sisters, who were among the few survivors from the 230,000 children who perished in the Nazi extermination camps.

Published in 2019 by Mondadori in Italian, this book now makes its Marathi debut, offering a personal and heartbreaking testimony of the atrocities faced by the Bucci sisters. For the first time, they recount their childhood memories, describing the horrific conditions, their fear and survival instincts, and their eventual return from the concentration camp. Their courage and resilience are reflected throughout this journey of loss, survival, and unimaginable suffering.

This memoir is not just a historical account, but a story of human endurance, hope, and the scars left by the traumatic experiences of the Holocaust. It’s an essential read for those seeking to understand the personal cost of war and the lasting impact on the lives of survivors.

“We, Little Girls in Auschwitz” is a poignant, heart-wrenching account that honors the memory of those who did not survive and bears witness to the resilience of those who did.
