Our Diamond
Author(s): Clint Miller
During the horrors of the Holocaust, five women imprisoned in Auschwitz escape their fears and revive their spirits by pretending to act out a play in front of an imaginary audience. With the help of a smuggled diamond, they will orchestrate a powerful and stunning emotional victory over their Nazi captors to prove to their imaginary audience that triumph can be torn from the depths of tragedy.
