A Number, Not a Name - Evelina’s Fight to Survive

In December 1943, Evelina Merová (née Landová) is deported from Theresienstadt to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where she is stripped of her name and marked only by a number. Inside the Theresienstadt family camp, she witnesses hunger, brutality, and the terrifying truth behind the chimneys that darken the sky.
As the camp is liquidated, Evelina survives selection under Josef Mengele and is sent west with her mother into the collapsing network of Nazi labor camps. From Auschwitz to Stutthof and its brutal subcamps, she endures forced labor, starvation, and death marches that claim the lives of her family and friends.
In January 1945, liberation finally comes at Gutowo, where Red Army soldiers find the last survivors in a state of devastation. Evelina’s journey continues in the aftermath of war as she rebuilds her life, carries the memory of the dead, and dedicates her voice to ensuring the Holocaust is never forgotten.
