Description

Among millions of Holocaust victims sent to Auschwitz II-Birkenau in 1944, Priska, Rachel and Anka each passed through its gates with a secret - they were all newly pregnant. Alone, scared and with so many loved ones already lost, these young women were privately determined to hold on to all they had left; their lives and those of their unborn babies. Born Survivors follows the mothers' incredible journey - first to Auschwitz, then to a German slave labour camp and finally, their hellish 17-day train journey to the Mauthausen death camp in Austria. Sixty-five years later, the three 'miracle babies' met for the first time at Mauthausen for the anniversary of the liberation that saved them.
