The Heart of Auschwitz is a book made in the shape of a heart by Auschwitz inmates. It was presented on December 12, 1944 to celebrate the 20th birthday of fellow Auschwitz prisoner Fania Feiner, at a time when the women were unsure they would celebrate any birthdays ever again. The book contains the wishes of its 20 authors who risked their lives to present this gift. In the heart of evil, these women committed a crime of humanity. Through a remarkable journey around the world to fi nd the authors, the fi lmmaker brings the women’s beautiful gesture back to life.
