Then and there, she made a vow to God that if she ever had the opportunity to save a life, she would do it. But she did much more than that. When she was appointed the housekeeper for a German major, the highest-ranking German officer in Tarnopol, Poland, Irena saved thirteen lives by hiding twelve Jews in her employer's basement, without his knowledge, for eight months. The thirteenth life she saved was a baby who was conceived in hiding. Now a major motion picture starring Sophie �Nlisse, Irena's Vow is one of the most remarkable, true stories of courage to come out of the Holocaust.--Page 4 of cover. 941 $a 1 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20240502011704.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=56AEC78C084911EFAA6956CE2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
