| Zusammenfassung: |
Memoirs of Akavia, born in Kraków in 1928, written in fictionalized form. Describes the Nazi occupation of Kraków in 1939, the anti-Jewish measures, and life in the ghetto from spring 1941. In 1942 Akavia and her brother were smuggled out of the ghetto by their parents and sent to Lvov with false papers. After one month in Lvov, Akavia’s brother was arrested by the Nazis, imprisoned, and later murdered. The book is narrated by Akavia’s brother, and ends with his death. In reality, Akavia returned to the Kraków ghetto and was sent to Płaszów with the rest of her family. Her father was then sent to Mauthausen, where he perished; she was sent with her mother and sister to Auschwitz in October 1944. Akavia immigrated to Eretz Israel in 1946.
