Beschreibung:
A vivid and unsparing memoir of the experiences of an eight year old child incarcerated in the Warsaw Ghetto. Her escape from the Ghetto and from Warsaw following the Uprising was due to her mother’s resourcefulness. Settling finally into an outwardly comfortable American life she repressed her horrific memories until compelled to bear witness.
After sixty years, Kristine Keese is finally able to share the memories of her years spent in the Warsaw Ghetto as a small child. She owes her survival, and that of her young uncle, to the striking resourcefulness of her mother. The story emerges as vividly as if it happened yesterday, full of details that only a child would notice. Although the the events of the Warsaw Ghetto and the fate of its victims has been described many times, Keese's story is exceptional, as it is told through the eyes of, not a victim, but a child engaged with her daily reality focused on survival.
