This book is wonderfully heartbreaking and uplifting. Told from a child's perspective, this memoir recounts a young girl, Krystyna Chiger, and her family, living through the Holocaust as Jews. What surprised me the most about this book was the fact that this book moves quickly and is not sedentary despite the fact that there is very little dialogue! Normally when you see page after page of prose you start to flip the pages looking for 'action'. Not the case with this book.
Chiger and her family move from hiding place to hiding place to escape being exterminated by the Nazis. Their final hiding place is in the sewer under their town. They hid there for 15 months. This is their harrowing story.
If you have any interest in the Holocaust you must read this book!
