William & Rosalie is the gripping and heartfelt bank account of two young Jewish people from Poland who survive six different German slave and prison camps throughout the Holocaust. In 1941, newlyweds William and Rosalie Schiff are forcibly separated and sent on the individual odysseys by having a surreal maze of hate. Terror in the Krakow ghetto, sadistic SS death games, cruel human medical tests, eyewitness accounts of brutal murders of men, women, children, and even infants, and the menace of rape in occupied Poland make William & Rosalie an unusually explicit view of the chaos that World Conflict II unleashed on the Jewish people. The fans' story commences in Krakow's historic community of Kazimierz, after the Germans occupy american Poland. A season later they marry in the ghetto; by 1942 deportations have squandered both individuals. After Rosalie is saved by Oskar Schindler, the husband and wife wrap up at the Plaszow work camp under Amon Goeth, the bestial commandant played by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List. While Rosalie is on "heaven patrol" getting rid of systems from the camp, William is working in the factories. However when Rosalie is shipped by train to a new manufacturer camp, William sneaks into a boxcar to check out, and he ends up at Auschwitz instead. Craig Hanley powerfully narrates the struggle of the few to remain alive and discover the other person at war's end. Now in their eighties, William and Rosalie come to terms in this booklet with the loss of their own families and years of torture at the hands of Nazi captors. Unique among memoirs from this era, the booklet connects directly to the present day. The Schiffs' ongoing and impressive marketing campaign against prejudice and discrimination is a heroic culmination of two lives scarred beyond belief by racism. William & Rosalie artfully combines biography with timely lessons on the type of mass hate, a stubborn phenomenon that continues to endanger every life on Earth.
