The Botanist's Tracks

Felicia Hodaks's vital botanical skills are the only thing keeping her away from the gas chambers. Against the backdrop of Auschwitz-Birkenau's ever-present brutality, Felicia tends to the plants needed for one of the Reich's most ambitious experiments-one that could tip the war in favor of the Nazis. When Sabina Kupka discovers the horrifying nature of her father's job at a coal mine run by Nazis, she agrees to work with an increasingly defiant resistance. What starts small but significant soon propels her into a frontline role-dangerous enough to cost her her life if caught. Soon, both women are engaged in a daring plan to arm the prisoners of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The Botanist's Tracks is the third installment in the Beyond the Tracks series and takes readers to the Nazi agricultural camp of Rajsko, a ten-minute ride from Auschwitz-Birkenau. Based on actual events, The Botanist's Tracks is the first-ever book set primarily in Rajsko and shows the incredible ingenuity of prisoners in finding ways to rise against impossible odds.
