Lodz, 1939: Die deutsche Besetzung Polens verändert alles, auch für die Hebamme Ana Kaminski und die jüdische Krankenschwester Ester Pasternak. Beide kämpfen um das Überleben ihrer Familien.

    L' infermiera di Auschwitz

    È il 1943 e Ana Kaminski varca i cancelli di ferro di Auschwitz accanto alla sua giovane amica Ester Pasternak, spinta dalla violenza brutale delle guardie naziste e quando le due raggiungono la prima fila, Ana dice di essere un'ostetrica, Ester la sua assistente. Una volta tatuate con il numero di riconoscimento dei prigionieri del campo, sono assegnate al capannone dove le donne incinte vengono fatte partorire. Mentre tiene in braccio un neonato venuto al mondo in quell'inferno, Ana si rende conto che il destino di tantissimi bambini potrebbe essere nelle sue mani, e giura a sé stessa che farà il possibile per salvarli. E così quando, pochi giorni dopo, le SS strappano a una madre la figlia, Ana è distrutta dal dolore, ma mentre consola la donna sconvolta, le viene in mente che forse potrebbe esserci un modo per preservare quel legame. In fondo, si dice che le guardie portino via i bambini più sani per affidarli alle famiglie tedesche, e si mormora che la guerra sia quasi finita... Ana, con un coraggio che neppure lei sapeva di avere, prende una decisione che cambierà la vita di centinaia di persone: lei ed Ester cominciano a tatuare di nascosto ogni neonato con lo stesso codice identificativo della madre, così che possano, un giorno, ritrovarsi. Ma proprio mentre il piano sembra stia funzionando, una mattina Ana si accorge che l'uniforme a righe di Ester sta cominciando ad andarle stretta...
