After surviving the worst war in history, Vera is not afraid to fight another.

1944. Czechoslovakia. Vera "Verushka" Roth is thirteen years old when she is torn away from her happy and comfortable life and sent to Auschwitz. At the camp's gates, she is advised by prisoners to lie about her age, a little lie that saves her from certain death.
Not knowing the fate of the rest of her family, Vera holds on to her mother, relying on her love and protection to survive the camp's horrifying and inhumane conditions. When the two are finally released at the end of the war, they set off to pick up the broken pieces of their lives.

Trying to find meaning in life after total devastation, Vera joins Hashomer Hatzair, a Jewish youth movement helping survivors in the aftermath of the war. Empowered by their optimistic vision of revival, she chooses to go by her Hebrew name, Yehudit, and is determined to start anew in Israel.

But even though she survived the worst atrocities in history, Vera is on her own and must face extreme challenges in an unknown and volatile land. As war erupts in Israel and her new home comes under constant fire, Vera must prove she has what it takes to fight for her new life.

After Auschwitz tells the inspiring true story of Holocaust survivor Yehudit Harel and is a heartbreaking and inspiring testament to the power of hope, family and perseverance in times of strife.
