The Stolen Twins: Based on a true story, an utterly heartbreaking World War Two page-turner

Auschwitz, 1944: "You can't leave me," I whisper, my hand trembling as I reach for her cheek. "You can't. We're in this life together, always, just you and me." This utterly heartbreaking yet beautifully hopeful World War Two page-turner tells the story of identical twin sisters in Auschwitz. Born minutes apart, Arina and Nora have never left each other's side-until now...

 

The cattle car is dark, except for the light filtering through the boarded windows. There are too many of us to count, crushed up against each other. The air is stuffy, carrying the scent of our terror-none of us know what awaits us when this train stops. I cling onto Mama's hand and Nora, my twin sister, clutches Papa's.

 

After what feels like forever, the train stops. We spill out of the carriage, the sun blinding us after being imprisoned in darkness for so long. There are people everywhere, soldiers separating children from their parents, husbands from wives.

 

We're in some sort of queue, and a man in a dark-green SS uniform walks by, glancing at everyone he passes. "Twins, twins," he shouts. My heart falls into the pit of my stomach.

 

"Right here," says Mama, hesitation in her voice. "My daughters are twins." My eyes widen, and Nora trembles. Papa tries to tell Mama to be quiet, but it's too late.

 

The Nazi catches sight of us. "Twins," he says again, pausing to inspect Nora and me. "Yes, you are, aren't you? You two are going to come along with me."

 

This unforgettable World War Two page-turner, perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Lucky Ones and The Midwife of Auschwitz, shows that, in the darkest of times, love can save your life...
