Title: The Tin Ring - A Remarkable Memoir of Love and Survival in the Holocaust (unabridged) Author: Zdenka Fantlova Narrator: Ann Rachlin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 56 minutes Release date: February 22, 2022 Genres: History & Culture Publisher's Summary: 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'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'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. 'An unforgettable memoir...deserves to be read for its unique story and for its shared message about the unrelenting human spirit.' (Publisher's Weekly) 'These are stories we must read and never forget.' (Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks) 'Zdenka Fantlová and her story made a lasting impression. She survived six concentration camps, endured horrors the like of which most of us can'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.' (Fiona Bruce, BBC's Antiques Roadshow)
