Beyond These Walls: Escaping the Warsaw Ghetto - A Young Girl's Story Paperback – September 28, 2007

Fantastic book sent it too my sister in law.

The author was a bright Jewish teenager in Warsaw when Germany attacked Poland in 1939, starting World War II. She survived, and many years after the war ended wrote a very moving and detailed story of her family, starting with their comfortable life before the war, describing how they lived in the Warsaw Ghetto, the escape and hiding when Nazis decided to finish off Ghetto survivors. Hair raising stories. At the same time, it is a coming of age story of an exceptional, strong and resourceful girl, who has teenage crushes under these incredible circumstances. She paints a wide picture about people she met during the war, some very wonderful righteous people, but also scum, profiteers and traitors. She writes very down to earth prose.

Really lets you know what the situation was like in the Warsaw Ghetto from a young woman's perspective.

My father came from Poland and wouldn't tell us anything of his experience, so this was a good read into that part of his life during the second world war.I would recommend this read to anyone.Here is the link to the book for quick referance -  Beyond These Walls: Escaping the Warsaw Ghetto - A Young Girl's Story (Virago Modern Classics) , thankws Beyond These Walls: Escaping the Warsaw Ghetto - A Young Girl's Story (Virago Modern Classics)
