With guile, cajolery, and steely persistence, the "Countess" persuaded SS officials to release thousands of Poles from the Majdanek concentration camp. At the same time, she personally smuggled supplies and messages to resistance fighters. Incredibly, she eluded detection and emigrated to the United States. This is an unforgettable account of courage in the face of unspeakable cruelty"-- $c Back cover. 600 10 $a Mehlberg, Josephine Janina, $d 1905-1969. 610 20 $a Majdanek (Concentration camp) 650 0 $a Jewish women $z Poland $v Biography. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $z Lublin. $z Lublin. 650 0 $a Countesses $z Poland $v Biography. 650 0 $a Impostors and imposture $z Poland $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women mathematicians $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Underground movements $z Lublin (City) $z Lublin (City) $v Biography. 651 0 $a Lublin (Poland) $v Biography. 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Sliwa, Joanna, $e author. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print nonfiction series. 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20240507010102.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=20547BC20C3711EF907AC7B83FECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
