[ha-Safran] Sponsored copy- The Lost Childhood: A Telling Tale Of A Brother And Sister Surviving The War
A limited number of sponsored copies are available for the book: The Lost Childhood: A Telling Tale Of A Brother And Sister Surviving The War If your library would like to be on the list to receive a sponsored copy of this book (without charge), please send your details. Sponsored copies are limited. Reply to chaim.m...@gmail.com An eyewitness account of the last days in the Warsaw Ghetto has been published and is included in an updated edition of "The Lost Childhood: A Telling Tale Of A Brother And Sister Surviving The War", co-authored by Ilana Levron and her brother, Yehuda Nir. This previously unpublished diary that Ilana (Lala) kept in 1944 reveals the strength and struggles of the Jewish fighters, to the end. Many of the days recorded in this diary show the bravery of these Jewish heroes while traversing the city through the sewer system of Warsaw, with the Nazis only a few feet about them. The diary was translated by Massuah Institute for the Study of the Holocaust at Kibbutz Tel Yitzhak in Israel. The original copy of the diary is preserved in the institute's archives. The authors also include fascinating memoirs of two Jewish men who stood out in their lives as they all fought against the Nazi enemy. This book details how a brother and sister, with their mother, fight to survive the Nazi occupation of Poland during World War Two. Tragically, their father/husband was murdered by the Nazis early in the German occupation of Poland. With uncanny ingenuity, and using forged identities and disguises, the three pose as non-Jewish Poles, find employment, and avoid capture and certain death. Yehuda recalls a particularly proud moment: "I glanced at Mother and Lala. We knew that this was the moment of our greatest personal victory - eight Germans cheering a Jew who had outwitted them all!"
