With a foreword by His Holiness Pope Francis. Lidia Maksymowicz was just three years old when she arrived in Auschwitz - Birkenau with her mother grandparents and foster brother. They were from Belarus their crime that they supported the partisan resistance to Nazi occupation. Once there Lidia was picked by Mengele for his experiments and sent to the children's block. It was here that she survived eighteen months of hell. Injected with infectious diseases desperately malnourished she came close to death. Her mother - who risked her life to secretly visit Lidia - was her only tie to humanity. By the time Birkenau was liberated her family had disappeared. Even her mother was presumed dead. Lidia was adopted by a woman from the nearby town of Oswiecim. Too traumatised to feel emotion she was not an easy child to care for but she came to love her adoptive mother and her new home. Then in 1962, she discovered that her birth parents were still alive. They lived in the USSR - and they wanted her back. Lidia was faced with an agonising choice The Little Girl Who Could Not Cry is powerful moving and ultimately hopeful as Lidia comes to terms with the past and finds the strength to share her story - even making headlines when she meets Pope Francis who kisses her tattoo.
