This documentary film is based on an international best-selling book. 999 Slovak girls ordered to register for government service are secretly deported on the first Jewish transport to Auschwitz. This chronicles the untold story of these mostly teenage girls betrayed by their government. Told that by volunteering for “work” they would fulfill their patriotic duty, these innocent young women willingly bid their families farewell. Under the cloak of deceit, they were transported on a one-way ticket to Auschwitz. The few who survived endured more than three years in the death camp. Meet the last living survivors of the First Jewish Transport and learn their story. (Beatriz M.Calleja & Heather Dune Macadam, 2025, 1:30, USA, NR)
