Tatae's Promise
by Sherry Maysonave0 ratings0 reviews
Tatae's Promise unravels the harrowing journey of Hinda Mondlak, an eighteen-year-old Polish Jew, and her sister, who perform an incredible escape from Auschwitz amidst the horrors of the Holocaust. An axe crashing through their door marked the beginning of an odyssey of survival, as Nazi soldiers uprooted Hinda and her family, propelling them into the abyss of wartime atrocities. While experiencing the brutality of Nazi occupation, life in a ghastly village ghetto, and the nightmarish confines of Auschwitz, Hinda clings to a sliver of hope - a solemn promise from her father to live and bear witness. Despite enduring beatings, illness, starvation, and the loss of her loved ones, Hinda's resilience is fortified by sporadic acts of unexpected kindness and her own indomitable spirit. Underpinned by hours of Hinda's recorded testimony, her story is not just one of suffering, but also of an enduring love that transcends the darkest depths of human cruelty. It is this legacy of love and the tenacity to live and tell her tale that elevates Tatae's Promise beyond the bounds of conventional Holocaust narratives.
