PRAISE

“A gem of a Holocaust novel.”
–San Diego Jewish World

“Hamand is a fine storyteller; her main characters leap off the pages and linger long after the reading is done….[Diamonds in Auschwitz] is a powerful, timely reminder of what happens when unfettered evil is allowed—even encouraged—to run rampant. Heartbreaking, chilling, and historically significant, with a touching bittersweet conclusion.”
–Kirkus Indie

“Hamand debuts with a split-narrative novel of clear-eyed resilience in the face of the worst of human cruelty…. The novel’s heart lies in the surprising connections across timelines, in people caring for each other amid horror, and in the fight to honor life and love even when death and hatred seem triumphant.”
–Publisher’s Weekly Booklife
