THE GIRL FROM AUSCHWITZ is the story of Cordelia Edvardson, journalist and author. She was only 14 years old when she was put in a concentration camp, first in Theresienstadt and later in Auschwitz. Her whole family had been killed.
Against all odds Cordelia survived and at the end of the war she was brought to Sweden. Here she started her fight-back. A foreigner, a woman and a new language. She conquered it all and became a highly respected journalist. She got married and gave birth to 5 children before moving to Jerusalem.
Cordelia is still reporting about the conflict between Israel and the Arabs and she is writing about the elusive Middle Eastern peace agreement, possibly the most important conflict in the world today.
