really liked it

A fascinating story of a young Jewish girl surviving the Holocaust in Poland by "passing" as a Christian. What's interesting here is that her family's saviors are not angels of progressiveness and light - they are real people looking to make ends meet, with typical (for the times) anti-Semitic attitudes; their words and their actions do not necessarily line up the way you might expect. The conflict inherent in that juxtaposition makes for a more realistic read than I have seen before.
