Synopsis

I could not put this book down, written with such depth and understanding. I kept thinking of Lale and Gita -- and the miracle of finding each other and embarking on a life together. This is a testament to the goodness and strength of humanity, and hope that we must keep acting to prevent it from repeating.

Heather Morris, International Bestselling Author, The Tattooist of Auschwitz

It is 1943 during the height of WWII and seventeen-year-old Vlada Munk, a Czech Jew, has sworn off any thoughts of romance. Imprisoned by the Nazis within the walls of the Jewish ghetto at Terezin, his courtships have taken tragic turns as his love interests are forced aboard trains and deported to the “East.” Vlada throws himself into his work as the camp locksmith, but his resolve is tested on a spring day in 1943 when he spots the dark-haired and confident beauty, Kitty Löwi, walking down the street of the camp.

Vlada and Kitty’s love is a bright spot amidst the camp’s overcrowding, hunger, and daily fear of Nazi retribution. When Vlada is forced aboard a train bound for Auschwitz, Kitty is left behind in Terezin. Will they overcome all odds and honor their pledge to reunite in a world brighter than the one in which they’ve met? Based on a true coming-of-age story of love and loss, hope and survival, The Missing Star is ultimately the story of the resilient heart.
