Once a Jew was trapped under Nazi occupation there were only four ways one could hope to survive with luck one could survive the camps, one could be hidden by a courageous gentile, one could escape and live in the forest with partisans, or one could change one’s identity, pretend to be Catholic and blend into the ambient population. This is what mother decided would be our best chance at survival. This was not an easy undertaking. To blend into the Polish community it was essential not to look Jewish; not to sound Jewish; to know a fair amount about Catholicism; and be able to think on your feet when unexpected events occurred. Above all one needed to be lucky. With counterfeit documents we changed our name and moved to Lublin, the site of Majdanek, the second largest concentration camp in Poland. At that time I was five years old and my brother was seven. We had to learn new names and to never reveal our past. No sooner we got settled that members of my father’s family descended on us seeking shelter. In a small, primitive house we hid up to eight members of my father’s family.

The writer expresses, with warmth, candor and a great memory for detail, the amazing story about how one Jewish family made it through the Holocaust. Through skill, intelligence, hard work, resourcefulness, subterfuge, sacrifice, the kindness of others, fierce determination and family love, they not only managed to live and stay together as a hardworking, supposedly Catholic family, but they also managed to hide and protect many members of their Jewish extended family who were not as well connected or resourceful. It is also very touching, as seen through the eyes of a child growing up in Nazi-occupied Europe.Product details

I almost didn't finish this book mostly because of the way it was written. I'm not sure how to explain it because even though it was interesting to know some of the details and facts of what happened to this family, it just wasn't very compelling to read.
Unbelieveable courage with real heroe's!
Very good well written and informative .. highly recommend

A determined father does everything he can to save his family ad others. An admirable family who struggles to survive the Holocaust!
Much like the other books written about that era. Sad time in history.
Fascinating story. This family went through a lot of hardships but wisely the mother chose to hide them under the ruse that they were not Jews. A very tragic time in history for not only Jews, but Slavs, homosexuals, gypsies, and handicapped.
