After the war, Schloss and her mother moved to England, where she met and married her husband, Zvi. They had three children and lived a relatively quiet life. However, Schloss never forgot the horrors she had witnessed during the Holocaust.

In "After Auschwitz," Schloss shares her story of resilience, heartbreak, and hope. She writes about the pain of losing her family, the challenges of rebuilding her life, and the importance of forgiveness.

"I wanted to write this book to share my story with the world," Schloss said. "I want people to know that even after the darkest of times, there is always hope."

Schloss's story is a testament to the human spirit. It is a story of survival, resilience, and hope. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.

Here is an excerpt from "After Auschwitz":

"I remember the day we were liberated from Auschwitz. It was a cold, gray day, and we were all huddled together in the barracks. We had been there for months, and we were all starving and exhausted. Suddenly, we heard the sound of gunfire, and the doors of the barracks were thrown open. We were free."

"I looked around at my fellow prisoners, and I saw the same look of shock and disbelief on their faces. We had survived. We had made it through the unimaginable. But we had also lost so much. Our families, our homes, our lives. We were all changed forever."

"In the years since the war, I have often been asked how I was able to survive Auschwitz. I don't have a simple answer. But I think it was a combination of things. I was young and strong, and I had a deep desire to live. I also had the support of my mother and my fellow prisoners."

"But most of all, I had hope. I never gave up hope that one day we would be free. And that hope kept me alive."

Eva Schloss's story is an inspiration to us all. It shows us that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope. We must never give up on our dreams, no matter how difficult they may seem.
