Description:
On September 27, 1939, less than four weeks after the Nazi invasion, Poland ceased to exist as a nation. Only three weeks had passed since ten-year-old Hanna Davidson had said goodbye to her father, Simon, and older brother, Kazik, who had been drafted and sent to defend Warsaw. Hanna and her mother, Sophia, an artist and intellectual, found themselves subjected to Hitler's efforts to dehumanize Poland's Jewish population.
Expand description
But when they got word that Simon and Kazik were alive in Bialystok in the Soviet-occupied zone of Poland, Hanna and her mother made a fearful decision -- they would risk a harrowing escape from Nazi Poland into safer Soviet territory.
More than a memoir of survival, the Davidsons' triumph is clearly one of a family whose spirit could not be impoverished -- or humanity diminished -- by persecution, war, famine, or political oppression.
