- Summary:
- "This memoir describes the experiences of a Holocaust survivor who escaped death by living a childhood of constant vigil and dodging the threat of a Nazi capture. There are accounts of the family's narrow escapes to (and from) the Lodz, Warsaw, and Czestochowa ghettos and how members of the family survived through luck, deception, and will to live"--Provided by publisher.
