For the Ones You Love - A true story of sisterhood and survival during the Holocaust

<*A powerful true story of the love between two sisters in the most terrible of times, from the author of Fritz and Kurt.*

Friedel and Regina were aged only fourteen when Kristallnacht happened.

This terrible time of violence in Germany against Jewish people, businesses, synagogues, and homes shocked the world.

As the Second World War approaches, the story of Friedel and Regina, two sisters, takes them from Dusseldorf to the Czestochowa ghetto in Poland then to Auschwitz, Dachau and finally the terrible death march.

Friedel and Regina are the only survivors from that march, keeping each other alive throughout the unimaginable ordeal.

But through their love for each other, and in the midst of the horror, there is hope.

This is the extraordinary story of Friedel and Regina.<>
