La desgarradora e inspiradora historia real de una niña enviada a Auschwitz que sobrevivió a los malvados experimentos de Mengele. Con prólogo de Su Santidad el Papa Francisco.
Cuando voy a lo de Mengele estoy dormida, así que cuando salgo no recuerdo exactamente qué pasó. Me despierto y es mi cuerpo hablando y contándome. Lidia tenía solo tres años cuando llegó a Auschwitz-Birkenau con su madre, sus abuelos y su hermano adoptivo. Eran de Bielorrusia, su ‘crimen’ que apoyaron la resistencia partidista a la ocupación nazi. Lidia fue elegida por el Dr. Josef Mengele para sus experimentos y enviada al bloque de niños donde sobrevivió dieciocho meses de infierno. Inyectada con enfermedades infecciosas, desnutrida desesperadamente, estuvo al borde de la muerte. Su madre, que arriesgó su vida para visitar a Lidia en secreto, era su único vínculo con la humanidad.
The heartbreaking, inspiring true story of a girl sent to Auschwitz who survived Mengele’s evil experiments. Lidia made headlines in 2021 when Pope Francis kissed her tattoo. Lidia was just three years old when she arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau with her mother, grandparents and foster brother. They were from Belarus, their ‘crime’ that they supported the partisan resistance to Nazi occupation. Lidia was picked out by Dr Josef Mengele for his evil experiments and sent to the infamous children’s block. In eighteen months of hell she came close to death more than once. By the time Birkenau was liberated her family had disappeared. Even her mother, who had risked her life to see Lidia in the camp, was presumed dead. Lidia was adopted by a woman from the nearby town of Oswiecim. Too traumatised to feel emotion, she was not an easy child to bring up but she came to love her new mother and her new home. Then, in 1962, she discovered that her birth parents were still alive in the USSR and her mother wanted her back. Lidia was faced with an agonising choice.
The Little Girl Who Could Not Cry is a powerful and ultimately hopeful true story. Lidia refuses to hate those who hurt her so badly. She says, ‘Hate only brings more hate. Love, on the other hand, has the power to redeem.’
