Trailer: 999 - The Forgotten Girls
THE FILM
999 reveals the hidden story about 999 unmarried, young Jewish women registered for government service in a supposed shoe factory and ended up in Auschwitz.
Who were these young women? Why were they chosen? How did a handful survive over three years in the death camps?
94-year-old Edith Grosman—#1970—and a few other survivors reveal the truth of this almost completely ignored piece of women's history, the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz. Based on the international best seller 999: The Extraordinary Young Women of the First Official Jewish Transport to Auschwitz (translated into 19 languages) this documentary pairs with the book to educate and inform a wider public about this historic #MeToo story.

ADELA #UNKNOWN
18-year-old Adela Gross was known for her magnificent red hair, which tumbled down her back like a lion’s mane. When Adela disappeared into the jaws of Auschwitz.
