I must be strong… and maybe, just maybe, we will survive.As a young Jewish teenager, Rosa enters a Nazi concentration camp and is separated from all of her family except her cousin Clara. She begins to face the horrors of the Holocaust, which brought millions of her fellow Jews to their deaths. A cruel rape by a German officer proves to be her salvation and sets her and her new baby on a path through the fall of the Nazi regime to the safety of the Allied forces and to a new, if uncertain, life in the USA. Finding Clara again gives her hope but what future is there for a young Jewish unmarried mother in the ‘land of plenty’? Can she provide for her daughter, build the life that she so longs for and find the happiness that she could only have dreamed of?
