William and Rosalie cover

William & Rosalie is the gripping and heartfelt account of two young Jewish people from Poland who survive six different German slave and prison camps throughout the Holocaust. In 1941, newlyweds William and Rosalie Schiff are forcibly separated and sent on their individual odysseys through a surreal maze of hate. After Rosalie is saved by Oskar Schindler, the husband and wife end up at the Plaszow work camp under Amon Goeth, the bestial commandant played by Ralph Fiennes in ""Schindler's List"", While Rosalie is on 'heaven patrol' removing bodies from the camp, William is working in the factories. But when Rosalie is shipped by train to a different factory camp, William sneaks into a boxcar to follow, and he ends up at Auschwitz instead. Craig Hanley powerfully narrates the struggle of the lovers to stay alive and find each other at war's end.

"This is a riveting, harrowing, dramatic true story, the stuff of which blockbuster movies and television mini-series are made. William & Rosalie is particularly distinguished by an underlying message warning of the dangers of prejudice and ethnic hatred." - Midwest Book Review"
