The Tin Ring by Zdenka Fantlova is read by Ann Rachlin.
A unique and incredible story of love, human endurance, and willpower. How a 17-year-old girl survived the horrors of six Nazi concentration camps. The author, now 99 years old, is a compelling speaker and still available for interviews. She had one of the longest queues for her book signing when she appeared at the Hay Festival. Zdenka Fantlová&apos;s peaceful life was changed forever when she was sent to Terezín concentration camp. Here, she was given a humble engraved tin ring by her first love Arno. When he gave her the ring he said, «That&apos;s for our engagement. And, to keep you safe. If we are both alive when the war ends I will find you.»
Arno was sent east on a penal transport later that same day. Zdenka survived six concentration camps including Auschwitz, Gross Rosen, Mauthausen, and Belsen – the worst of all – risking her life for the tin ring. In the last chaotic days of the war in Belsen she crawled to a Red Cross post. There she was saved by an unknown British soldier to whom the audiobook is dedicated.
&quot;An unforgettable memoir…deserves to be read for its unique story and for its shared message about the unrelenting human spirit." (Publisher&apos;s Weekly)
&quot;These are stories we must read and never forget." (Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks)
&quot;Zdenka Fantlová and her story made a lasting impression. She survived six concentration camps, endured horrors the like of which most of us can&apos;t begin to comprehend, yet never lost the will to live or her optimism for a better future. During her time in the camps she kept a little tin ring, made for her by her boyfriend. She risked her life to keep this humble object that meant so much to her."
