When the Germans march into their little Polish shtetl at the start of World War II, the Jews of Wlodawa see their lives abruptly torn apart. For Hil and Alexandra it marks the beginning of a struggle to survive during which they will experience ghettos, roundups, hiding places, and false identities, a struggle where the line between life and death will depend on small decisions made along the way.

With the story of the destruction of Polish Jewry as a backdrop, Jeannette Grunhaus de Gelman tells us the remarkable tale of her parents' journey, which will take them from the dark years in a Europe at war to safety and a new life in Venezuela.

Industry Reviews

Jeannette Gelman writes with great clarity and passion her personal story of the Holocaust, which is also the story of her parents Alexandra and Hil. As my family's genealogist, I was especially interested in Ms. Gelman's genealogy of her family, which is very different from mine. Yet the people in the book and the story are highly relatable today, as these were ordinary people, and what happened to them could happen to any of us. Ms. Gelman's family had the misfortune to be swept up in the tide of the worst of human history. Her parents did manage to survive but also paid a heavy price, in terms of mental health, for their survival. How this price was ultimately resolved is a fascinating story. - Leigh Hallingby

This book is not only a Holocaust story, it's a testament to the life of a survivor. This is the story of the author's parents. The book describes how both of them lost their families in the war and no one else left except them. It reflects their struggle to survive, how they finally got away from the dark years of the war, and how they started a new life in Venezuela (South America). - Christine Harnist
