This inspiring classic chronicles the lives of two extraordinary women: Margarete Buber, a Prussian writer and journalist who was the daughter-in-law of Martin Buber; and Milena Jesenska, a Czech journalist and a woman of great beauty who was Kafka's lover. The two met in Ravensbruck concentration camp in 1940. Both were political prisoners, Milena for inflammatory anti-Nazi articles, Margarete for her political affiliations. For four terrible years these two women formed a bond and a friendship so strong that their everyday survival depended on it. They made a pact: should only one survive, the other would bear witness to the one who died. It was Margarete who lived to remember in this story of fearless love, sacrifice, and nobility.
