Powerful Retelling of the Story of Esther In 1944, blond and blue-eyed Jewess Hadassah Benjamin feels
abandoned by God when she is saved from a firing squad only
to be handed over to a new enemy. Pressed into service by
SS-Kommandant Colonel Aric von Schmidt at the transit camp
of Theresienstadt in Czechoslovakia, she is able to hide
behind the false identity of Stella Muller. However, in
order to survive and maintain her cover as Aric's secretary,
she is forced to stand by as her own people are sent to
Auschwitz. Suspecting her employer is a man of hidden depths and
sympathies, Stella cautiously appeals to him on behalf of
those in the camp. Aric's compassion gives her hope, and she
finds herself battling a growing attraction for this man she
knows she should despise as an enemy. Stella pours herself into her efforts to keep even some of
the camp's prisoners safe, but she risks the revelation of
her true identity with every attempt. When her bravery
brings her to the point of the ultimate sacrifice, she has
only her faith to lean upon. Perhaps God has placed her
there for such a time as this, but how can she save her
people when she is unable to save herself?
