In the depths of winter, when the snow falls like a thick blanket and the wind howls like a banshee, it is hard to imagine a more desolate and unforgiving place than the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Yet, it was in this living hell that two young sisters, Edith and Hedi, found the strength to survive.

Butterflies In The Snow is a powerful and moving story of survival and resilience. Set against the backdrop of the Holocaust, the novel follows the journey of these two young girls who are separated during the war. Despite the horrors they face, they never give up hope, and their story is a testament to the human spirit's ability to endure even the darkest of times.

The novel opens with Edith and Hedi being torn from their home and sent to Auschwitz. They are separated upon arrival, and each girl must face the horrors of the camp alone. Edith is forced to work in the gas chambers, while Hedi is sent to the children's barracks.

Despite the unimaginable horrors they witness, Edith and Hedi never give up hope. They find solace in each other's memories, and they draw strength from their shared faith. They also find comfort in the small acts of kindness that they show to each other and to the other prisoners.

As the war rages on, Edith and Hedi's lives become increasingly intertwined. They meet again in the children's barracks, and they help each other to survive the horrors of the camp. They also witness the liberation of the camp, and they are reunited with their family.

Butterflies In The Snow is a haunting and heartbreaking story, but it is also a story of hope and resilience. Edith and Hedi's story is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the human spirit can prevail.
