      Príbeh pôrodnej asistentky inšpirovaný skutočnými udalosťami Ana a jej kamarátka Ester sa ocitnú za železnou bránou Auschwitzu, koncentračného tábora, odkiaľ niet návratu. Keď sa dostanú na začiatku radu, Ana predstúpi a pokojne oznámi, že je pôrodná asistentka – a Ester jej pomocníčka. Na ruky im vytetujú čísla a pošlú ich do pôrodného baraka. Ana pochopí, že v jej rukách sa neocitnú len nevinní novorodenci, ale aj osudy mnohých ďalších detí a sľúbi si, že urobí všetko, čo bude v jej silách, aby ich zachránila. Jedného dňa vtrhnú do baraka dvaja dozorcovia v obávaných esesáckych uniformách a vytrhnú svetlovlasé dieťa jeho matke z náručia. Ana má čo robiť, aby sa ovládla. Aj keď jej srdce puká od žiaľu, pri utešovaní zúfalej ženy zazrie záblesk nádeje. Dozorcovia si berú najzdravšie deti a umiestňujú ich v nemeckých rodinách, takže predpokladajú, že prežijú. V tábore sa navyše šepká, že vojna sa už čoskoro skončí Ana a Ester preto začnú potajomky označovať matky a ich deti totožným tetovaním a dúfajú, že raz znovu nájdu cestu k sebe. Potom, raz zavčasu ráno, si Ana všimne pod Esteriným tenkým pruhovaným kabátom vydúvajúce bruško... Narodené v Auschwitzi je dojímavý príbeh o nezlomnosti a snahe zachrániť ľudské životy na motívy skutočných historických udalostí.
