As a young girl in Ukraine, blonde-haired, blue-eyed Maria and the other girls in her small village, grew up dreaming of a happy life. Life was hard under communist rule, but there was always hope. Everything changed when war brought the Nazi army to Maria’s village. Taken forcefully from her family as a teenager, Maria was sent to work for “Great Germany.” After a few years taking care of Hitler’s youth in a hotel and working as a nanny for a Nazi officer and his wife, Maria’s story became even more unfathomable. This fascinating account of the atrocities and brutalities she and many others like her endured may seem like fiction because it is so hard to believe. “Sentenced to Mate” is the story of thousands of female victims of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during and after World War II. The tragic life of war was the only life these young girls knew. They were forced into sex slavery, sexual abuse and mass executions and assaulted with sterilization, humiliation, hunger, fear, pain, and rape. Authorities looked the other way, renaming the rapes “satisfying the needs of men.” Azalia wrote this to break the long silence of victims like Maria whose stories were never told. Most of them were too ashamed to even tell family or friends how they were forced to use their bodies to survive and of the pain and humiliation that would scar them deeply forever. “Sentenced to Mate” is dedicated to these girls as well as the five million non-Jews, referred to as "The Others," who were killed in the mass extermination known as the Holocaust. Thank you, readers, for your willingness to learn about the tragic life of these girls. I hope you will be inspired to keep the story alive, so women like Maria are not forgotten.
