520    Ana Kaminski is pushed through the iron gates of Auschwitz
       beside her frightened young friend Ester Pasternak. As 
       they reach the front of the line, Ana steps forward and 
       quietly declares herself a midwife--and Ester her 
       assistant. Their arms are tattooed and they're ordered to 
       the maternity hut. Holding an innocent new-born baby, Ana 
       knows the fate of so many are in her hands, and vows to do
       everything she can to save them. When two guards in their 
       chilling SS uniforms march in and snatch a blond-haired 
       baby from its mother it's almost too much for Ana to bear.
       Consoling the distraught woman, Ana realises amidst the 
       terrible heartache there is a glimmer of hope. The guards 
       are taking the healthiest babies and placing them with 
       German families, so they will survive. And there are 
       whispers the war is nearly over... Ana and Ester begin to 
       secretly tattoo little ones with their mother's numbers, 
       praying one day they might be reunited. Then, early one 
       morning, Ana notices the small bump under Ester's thin 
       striped clothing...
