My name is not Miriam

The novel story of a woman who went through the hell of a concentration camp

Miriam Adolfsson celebrates her eighty-fifth birthday. But when he receives a gift of a bracelet resembling the work of gypsy silversmiths, something completely unexpected happens.

"My name is not Miriam!"

After this astonishing declaration, the old lady opens the floodgates of memories she has buried deep within herself. She is not Jewish, as everyone, including her family, believed. She's Romani. Her real name is Malika. Her brother was killed in Auschwitz by Dr. Mengele. In order to survive, she put on the clothes of the Jewish girl Miriam, who paid for the terrible journey with her life. She took her identity.

And then she'll be transported to Ravensbrück. Another endless hell of cold, hunger, torture and disease.

However, he does not dare to come out with the truth even after he finally escapes. Even in Sweden, where she was taken after liberation, half-dead, malnourished and infected with typhus, gypsies are marginalized. He'll recover. She's getting married. He'll stay. And for the whole world she plays the role of a Jewess from a good family. Even her husband has no idea. But now Malik can't keep quiet...
