The night that Rachel and Toby's parents are taken away by the Nazis, they give their daughters three gold coins. "Use these wisely to help save your lives," they tell them. They also ask the girls to promise that they will always stay together. This compelling true story follows the girls as they confront the daily horrors of Auschwitz, protec]ng one another, sharing memories, fears and even laughter. Always together. But when Rachel becomes ill and is taken away by Nazi guards, likely forever, Toby risks her life to use the well-hidden gold coins to rescue her liJle sister. 4 “My children and I really liked this story of love between two sisters. The bravery Toby showed in searching for and rescuing Rachel is heartwarming. I am amazed that true stories are s>ll being told from World War II. The illustra>ons give you a feel for the atmosphere in the concentra>on camps; they are mostly gray, with only a touch of colour here and there”.
