999: The Forgotten Girls of the Holocaust reveals the untold story of 999 unmarried, young Slovak Jewish women initially registered for government service in a purported shoe factory, only to be tragically sent to Auschwitz. Who were these young women? Why were they chosen? How did a handful survive over three years in the death camps? Survivors reveal the truth of this almost completely ignored piece of women’s history, the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz.
