The Nazis are liquidating the ghetto of Shedlitz, an industrial town east of Warsaw, Poland. Zippa, a 27-year-old Jewish woman, finds temporary shelter in a small attic, together with her baby daughter and a hundred frightened Jews. When the Nazi noose is tightened around her neck, Zippa asks her husband Jacob, a Jewish policeman in the ghetto, to save their little girl from certain death. The young father manages to smuggle his wife and daughter to the gentile part of town, where Zippa's childhood girlfriends Sophia and Irena reside. This is the real story of one Jewish family confronted by the terror of Nazi rule. The book follows Lalechka, the little girl born into the chaos of war and holocaust and forced to struggle with the reversals of fortune that led her each time anew into foreign and terrifying regions. But, beyond that, it is the story of the true friendship of three girls in early 20th Century Poland, a friendship that won't cower before government dictates, an astonishing manifestation of loyalty and courage. This is Amira Keidar's first novel, based on the journal written by the young mother during the annihilation of the ghetto, as well as on interviews with key figures in the story, rare documents and authentic letters."--Back cover. 600 10 $a Jablon-Zonszajn, Zippa $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Jablon-Zonszajn, Lalechka $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Female friendship. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $z Siedlce $z Siedlce $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jewish ghettos $z Siedlce $z Siedlce $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jews $z Siedlce $z Siedlce $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Jews $x Persecutions $z Warsaw $z Warsaw $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Siedlce (Poland : Voivodeship) $x Ethnic relations $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Ethnic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916005 650 7 $a Female friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922609 650 7 $a Jewish ghettos. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982786 650 7 $a Jews. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983135 650 7 $a Jews $x Persecutions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00983322 651 7 $a Poland $z Siedlce. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207501 651 7 $a Poland $z Siedlce (Voivodeship) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01330589 651 7 $a Poland $z Warsaw. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204515 648 7 $a 1939-1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 941 $a 3 952 $l WCPC115 $d 20240806011753.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20240621010336.0 952 $l NWPC663 $d 20230720010735.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A9139BB022A911ED8A7D5B3833ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
