Born survivors : three young mothers and their extraordinary story of courage, defiance, and hope

Among the millions of Holocaust victims sent to Auschwitz in 1944, Priska, Rachel, and Anka shared a secret---they were pregnant. Separated from their husbands they were scared. After losing so much to the Nazis, they were determined to hold on to their unborn babies. Against all odds, the three women survived, gave birth under horrible circumstances, and went on to build new lives with their children after World War II. Their stories of hardships and miracles almost defy belief. Sixty-five years later, the three "miracle babies" (two girls and a boy) share the story of their mothers who defied death at the hands of the Nazis to give their children life.
