Product Description
As the thunderclouds of imminent war blackened the skies over Europe in the late summer of 1939, a profound trepidation surged through the Jewish communities of Poland. But the painful reality of the Nazi conquest was far worse than anyone could possibly imagine. Shortly after the invasion, the Jews were sequestered in overcrowded, heavily guarded ghettos and exploited as slave laborers while they awaited their sinister fate. "Sisters in the Storm," the fifth volume in "The Holocaust Diaries," is set primarily in the ghetto of Lodz, Poland, one of the largest, most vibrant Jewish communities of pre-war Europe. It tells the dramatic story of a sheltered young girl who lived through the heartbreak of the ghetto and was eventually deported to Auschwitz. "Sisters in the Storm" begins in Lodz during the fading peace when the author was little more than a child, a time when the sounds of Torah and tefillah and animated conversation reverberated through the teeming Jewish streets of Lodz. Then the Nazi juggernaut struck. The roseate hues of the author's sheltered life exploded into shock, violence and desperation, but she responded with resourcefulness and courage remarkable for a girl in her early teens.
