999 reveals the hidden story about 999 unmarried, young Jewish women registered for government service in a supposed shoe factory and ended up in Auschwitz. Who were these young women? Why were they chosen? How did a handful survive over three years in the death camps? 94-year-old Edith Grosman--#1970--and a few other survivors reveal the truth of this almost completely ignored piece of women's history, the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz. Based on the international best seller 999: The Extraordinary Young Women of the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz (translated into 19 languages) this documentary pairs with the book to educate and inform a wider public about this historic #MeToo story.

Nora Lee Mandel Maven's Nest Impressively identifies, contextualizes their significance, and restores individuality to the 999 girls who were the first and last females at Auschwitz. Amazingly matches numbers with names, testimonies, and images before, during, and after. Rated: 9/10 Feb 6, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
