Title: Sisters in sorrow
Description: Sisters in Sorrow: Voices of Care in the Holocaust gives voice to women who took care of the sick in the camps of Nazi Germany, which had, contrary to any voice of reason, been constructed for the sole purpose of human extermination. For some individuals, however, like the women whose stories are recounted in this book, there remained glimmers of hope.

Those who were capable and willing were sometimes able to help others live, thereby retaining a measure of value in their own lives as well as contributing to their fellow prisoners. To this collection of memoirs Roger A. Ritvo and Diane M. Plotkin have added important historical background, giving context to the stories.
