Tells the story of nearly one thousand young, unmarried Jewish women who boarded a train in Poprad, Slovakia, on March 25, 1942, believing they were going to work in a factory for a few months, but instead were sent to Auschwitz, becoming the first official Jewish transport to the Nazi concentration camp. Of those 999 innocent deportees sent to be used for slave labor, only a few would survive.
