The Number One International Bestseller. The heartbreaking,
inspiring true story of a girl sent to Auschwitz who survived the
evil Dr Josef Mengele’s pseudo-medical experiments. With a
foreword by His Holiness Pope Francis. Lidia Maksymowicz was just
three years old when she arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau with her
mother, grandparents and foster brother. They were from Belarus,
their ‘crime’ that they supported the partisan resistance to
Nazi occupation. Once there, Lidia was picked by Mengele for his
experiments and sent to the children’s block. It was here that
she survived eighteen months of hell. Injected with infectious
diseases, desperately malnourished, she came close to death. Her
mother – who risked her life to secretly visit Lidia – was her
only tie to humanity. By the time Birkenau was liberated her family
had disappeared. Even her mother was presumed dead. Lidia was
adopted by a woman from the nearby town of Oswiecim. Too
traumatized to feel emotion, she was not an easy child to care for
but she came to love her adoptive mother and her new home. Then, in
1962, she discovered that her birth parents were still alive. They
lived in the USSR – and they wanted her back. Lidia was faced
with an agonizing choice . . . The Little Girl Who Could Not Cry is
powerful, moving and ultimately hopeful, as Lidia comes to terms
with the past and finds the strength to share her story – even
making headlines when she meets Pope Francis, who kisses her
tattoo. Above all she refuses to hate those who hurt her so badly,
saying, ‘Hate only brings more hate. Love, on the other hand, has
the power to redeem.’
