Review Excerpt

“Du solst starben zwischem goyem!”
A fellow Jew within the Warsaw Ghetto, offended by Zosia Goldberg's Polish of no Yiddish accent, spat at her in Yiddish: “May you die amongst the goyem!” Zosia took this “curse” instead as a message from God. Her dramatic tale begins with her escaping the Warsaw Ghetto through the sewer, whereafter she survived the Holocaust posing as a Gentile.
