As a sequel to the author's vivid account in her book The story of PRISONER NUMBER 329 describing holocaust horrors concentration camp prisoners endure during World War II, THE LAST BLACK CROSS delves deeper into a true account of how SS Nazi officers heap vicious brutality on a young German medical student and other male and female inmates until the Russian army liberates prisoners near the end of the conflict.
The story reaches climaxes in two parts, with subtitles THE ASHES OF AUSCHWITZ portraying unbelievable atrocities in this camp notorious as an extermination centre, with Jewish men, women and children the main targets; and the second part, JUDGE, JURY and EXECUTIONER, enthralling readers as they follow how the student, now Doctor Peter Helms, extracts revenge thirty years later on SS officers responsible for the annihilation of thousands of innocent Jewish people using beatings, shootings, and gassing them to death before they were taken to the dreaded crematoriums.

Alida Van Den Bos
A member of the Australian Society of Authors; Alida van den Bos was born in Arnhem, Holland in 1930 and later educated in Tilburg.
With her husband and two children, Alida emigrated to Australia in 1959 where adventure beckoned and the family tried opal digging in Coober Pedy and Lightning Ridge. While living in the opal fields she wrote at every opportunity, using her life experiences to produce a series of short stories.
A move to the mid-western New South Wales town of Orange followed where Alida gave birth to her third child and with her husband started a horse stud, aptly named Running Hoofs, leading to success in local and metropolitan racecourses.
During this time she continued storing ideas and data to develop fictional novels, of which she now has written eight, including The Story of Prisoner Number 329, Dead Certainty, Amy and the Skeleton Key, Jennifer and the Bunker of Horrors, The Last Black Cross, Facing the Music, Guilty Before Proven Innocent and Flight into Death.
