The author reflects on how her heroes managed to live through illness, turmoil, and hunger thanks to their bravery, but also love, which was the force that kept their heart moving through those days. Because, despite forced labor, beatings, abuse, and starvation, their greatest struggle was escaping the extermination camps to find their beloved again and set out on a new life together. That was the only thing in their minds: survival to keep on loving. For these survivors, love became their greatest strength during those years of imprisonment.
