Intertwining the fate of a country with the life of one Polish family, this book tells the story of a Polish girl who attempted to outwit the Nazis and the Soviets. The events are true and based on extensive oral accounts of the participants and documents released only in Polish and never before available in English, including original Auschwitz letters and Nazi exhumation documents. Szonert shows a novelist's skill in providing a richly detailed account of the war's devastating impact... The book should attract readers interested in recent Polish history, including young people.
