Tatae's Promise - You will live... you will tell

Maysonave, Sherry and Goldman, Moises J.

PenCraft, Readers' Favorite, NIEA, Pinnacle Awards

Hinda Mondlak was eighteen years old when an axe crashed through the front door of her home.

Nazi soldiers swarmed inside and then herded the family into the open-air bed of an army truck. Hinda, her parents, and two sisters were hauled, as if they were subhuman pariahs, to the Mlawa ghetto, where they were forced to live in squalor for one lone reason: They were Jews.

After almost three years of subsisting on a starvation diet and sleeping on a wooden floor in the ghetto, Hinda was imprisoned at Auschwitz. When incarcerated there for an additional two and one-half years, Hinda endured rabid hunger, slave labor, and barbarous brutalities while clinging to her father’s promise—I know for certain that you will live, and you will tell.

Incredibly, at the age of twenty-three, Hinda devised a daring plot to escape Auschwitz with her younger sister, Rachel. Hinda brilliantly executed the plan only to find the two of them running for their lives—from both Germans and Russians.
