Stigmata of Auschwitz Part 2

The Stigmata of Auschwitz is the brief story of the life and love of Rebekah and Gabriel. <br>The two main characters of the story are a young Jewish couple whose lives bringing up their young child are cut short and sacrificed to an evil Nazi ideology. <br>The story takes place between March 1938 to September 1941 in the time of the Shoah (the Holocaust). <br>Gabriel is from Budapest in Hungary where he is sent on a mission to Munkács in Western Ukraine. There he meets Rebekah. They fall in love marry and settle in Munkács where the population is 42% Jewish. <br>In Munkács Gabriel and Rebekah build up a successful business and public life: he becomes a councillor representing the Jewish community while she is a member of the Union of Jewish Women. To complete their enviable lifestyle they have a much-loved baby son. <br>But their dream is destroyed by the antisemitism unleashed at the outbreak of the Second World War; their life together is ruined by the ruling fascist elite. Consequently they departed to Auschwitz where they are murdered. <br>However their two-year-old son is rescued and raised by their neighbour.
