A train in winter : an extraordinary story of women, friendship and survival in World War Two

Summary: On an icy dawn morning in Paris in January 1943, a group of 230 French women resisters were rounded up from the Gestapo detention camps and sent on a train to Auschwitz-- the only train, in the four years of German occupation, to take women of the resistance to a death camp. This title tells their story-- who they were, and more.
