Synopsis

How many Muses are there? Who were the original twelve Titans? Why is Zeus (Jupiter) associated with power stations, and Poseidon (Neptune) with salt-cellars? Who were Aphrodite’s (Venus’) handmaidens?  In this beautiful little book, packed with rare early illustrations to help identify the gods and goddesses, author Philippa Lewis reveals the extraordinary characters and haunting myths of the classical pantheon, and shows how their legacy still lives on around us today.

Amidst the brutality, she uncovers a hidden diamond engagement ring in the mud—its brilliance offering a glimmer of hope and a reason to survive.

Distracted by his life in Prague, Samual initially dismisses the growing threats against their community, focusing instead on the engagement ring he dreams of giving to Hanna. As the grip of the Nazis tightens, their plans unravel, yet their love becomes a beacon of resilience amid escalating fear and loss.Diamonds in Auschwitz illustrates how, when everything seems lost, even the smallest treasures can illuminate the path to freedom and connection. Through Rachael and Chaya's friendship, and Samual and Hanna's unwavering love, the story reminds us that even in the bleakest times, humanity can shine brightly.
