Their Christian neighbor, Helena, an immigrant from Italy who dances at the Folies Bergere nightclub for a living, develops a close relationship with the couple, at the center of which is a secret affair with Marek. When the Nazis enter Paris, the family's life, as well as Helena's, is about to change. Marek embarks on a mission to arrange for his family's escape but soon disappears without a trace. Annette realizes that time is not on her side and surrenders her children to the protection of the Dubois family, owners of the neighborhood bakery. As the Nazis strengthen their hold on the city of Paris, aided by French collaborators, the Dubois family becomes exceedingly more anxious of their situation until, finally, they turn to Helena and beg her to provide a safe home for the children. Bravely and without hesitation, Helena fulfills her promise to protect her friends' children at any cost"--Back cover. 541 $d 20230124. 650 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Fiction. 650 $a Married people $v Fiction. 650 $a Showgirls $v Fiction. 651 $a Paris (France) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. 700 $a Frumkin, Esther,. 941 $a 1 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20230404015139.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FB7AC042D2B011ED872B743748ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
