"Born Survivors, is exceptionally fresh history, a work of
prodigious original research, written with zealous empathy."--Women
in the World, New York Times online
"An astonishing and deeply moving work.... With remarkable detail
gleaned from a wealth of research."--Booklist (starred
review)
"Even though it occurred more than 70 years ago, the story's truth
is so chillingly portrayed that it seems as if it could have
happened recently.... An engrossing, intense, and highly
descriptive narrative chronicling the ghastly conditions three
pregnant women suffered through at the hands of the
Nazis."--Kirkus Reviews
"Holden weaves...written, oral and recorded accounts, plus an array
of historical records, into a spellbinding story of perseverance
amid systematic abuse."--American Jewish World
"Holden's triple biography is packed with enough contextual
information to qualify as a history lesson but makes its impression
as a tale of undeniable courage and astonishing love in the face of
incredible cruelty and evil."--Contra Costa Times
"It's no surprise Born Survivors is gathering excellent
reviews."--Chicago Tribune
"Packed with harrowing detail and impressively well-researched....
Intense, powerful, and moving, more than make up for this. Born
Survivors is a worthy testament to these three women and the
miraculous survival of their children."--Jewish Chronicle
