But when Cibi learns that fifteen-year-old Libi has been selected, she goes with her younger sister and does her best to protect her through the horrors that follow in Auschwitz-Birkenau. Any who don't appear fit and healthy are selected and never seen again. Back at home, a friend hides Magda when the Germans come looking, but eventually they come for more than only the young.

The sisters support each other and do survive, with some help from a German, trying to hang on to a scrap of humanity. Then comes their freedom march. Back in Slovakia, they find their home occupied. After further adventures, they all end up in Israel where they hope to make new lives, still together though all find partners.
