La chica que jugaba al ajedrez en Auschwitz

Saab, Gabriella

Maria Florkowska, in addition to an excellent chess player, is also a member of the Polish Resistance in Nazi-occupied Warsaw. Arrested by the Gestapo and deported to Auschwitz as a political prisoner, the young woman resigns herself to her own fate. But when the ruthless Lagerführer Karl Fritzsch discovers her extraordinary talent for playing chess, he decides to entertain the rest of her guards by challenging her to a grueling and sadistic tournament. Move after move, as she plays for her life despite her rage and terror, the young woman begins to hatch a plan. Will her abilities on the board be able to checkmate her cruel adversary?
