In this powerful and poignant story of survival, the woman whom Sir Martin Gilbert called "the American Jewish historian" in The Righteous chronicles her turbulent life during the Nazi onslaught. Lorraine Justman-Wisnicki brings us through her years in war-torn Poland as her childhood is abruptly brought to an end. Her experiences introduce us to the famed Janusz Korczak and his orphanage where she once worked. From Underground schoolteacher to hospital worker, she helped others, and was helped by others. As whole communities were being sent to their deaths, those closest to her sacrificed themselves for her. This is a story of life in the ghetto, and of life in prison. It is a story of informers and saviors, of life in disguise and life on the run. It is a very personal perspective of the impact of a terrifying era on a young girl and her family and friends.
