Following an opening chapter on the 1945 liberation of Katowice, the Polish town where Lala had been living, Lala recalls preparing for the Nazi arrival by obtaining forged papers and memorizing Catholic prayers and rituals. Fiercely determined and greatly aided by her Aryan looks, she managed to convince everyone -- German soldiers, interrogators, fellow Poles -- that she was a Polish gentile girl. Within a year after Lvov was captured by the German forces, many of Lala's family members were missing and presumed dead; Lala's Story follows Fishman as she moves from town to town in an effort to avoid the same fate, driven by her fear of being discovered. The book ends by bringing her story up to the present day.
More than a narrative of survival, this is the story of a young girl's calculated and resolute struggle to defy, resist, and ultimately defeat the evil forces that sought her demise.
