Based on the harrowing life of Eleonore Hodys, The Mistress of Auschwitz follows the true story of a political prisoner detained in the notorious concentration camp. While experiencing all the horrors of the holocaust, Eleonore turns to friendship for survival. Through companionship with another female prisoner, Eleonore must decide if she has the courage to join the resistance movement which is planning the overthrow of their wicked oppressors. Matters are only complicated when Eleonore unwittingly attracts the attention of the Commandant and she is forced to decide between her own comfort or her principles.

I loved this book. The plot was very interesting and informative. It provided details that I could easily visualize. Such a sad but true story.

A great and telling story

The narrator kept me hooked, she did a fairly good performance. The story was well written and to the point and i liked how it leaves an open ending for the writer to eventually introduce us to a sequel.

It tells the true story of Elenor Hodys, a political prisoner detained in the notorious concentration camp.

One thing that surprised me was that she was able to push her luck within her prison boundaries, "talk back" and even dared to make special requests from the guards - which I thought was completely out of place until I remembered she was NOT Jewish and probably would have received some semblance of patience from the guards.

But anyway, bare in mind that this is not a usual holocaust story. We’re used to only hear about the horrific brutalities performed to the jews and not the small, lesser known intrigues that went on. This is one of those "small" stories. And that is not meant in any way to diminish the tragedies within the story.

Great story & performance

All concentration camp fiction/non-fiction concentrates on the Jews who of course were not the only people to be interned in Auschwitz and other camps. Since they were not immediately destined for extermination, political prisoners have a rather different story to tell. For anyone who has actually been to Auschwitz (in the days before it became a theme park and the ideal place to take a selfie and post on social media i.e; more than 20 years ago) the descriptions of Block 11 are indeed as harrowing as the book cover blurb promises. Not an easy read, but a very interesting one.

A RARELY TOLD STORY

Very captivating - certainly not completely true to her story but adapted well into a book. The narrator did a great job.

This story of Auschwitz is awful but the heroism of the captives is mesmerizing. The story of Auschwitz should never be forgotten or repeated. Great book. Beautifully narrated.
