Winter In The Morning: A Young Girl's Life in the Warsaw Ghetto and Beyond (Virago Modern Classics) - Softcover
Using diaries she kept as a teenage girl, the author describes the horror of the siege and surrender of Warsaw in 1939. With the curfew came raids, beatings and enforced moves. Relatives and friends disappeared, food became scarcer and clandestine meetings more dangerous. During the terrible months of the Nazi "Aktion" in 1942, it was on Janina that her mother and sister increasingly depended. Hounded from shelter to shelter, they kept on the move as thousands were rounded up for deportation to the camps. Early in 1943 they escaped the ghetto: what followed where years of hiding until finally the beginning of hope.

Review:
I found it absorbing . . . testaments such as Janina Bauman's are important and should never be allowed to fade away. The drama of Anne Frank is rightly always before us but the equally vital stories of those who suffered but survived need to be listened to with just as much attention ( Margaret Forster )
A profound and moving book which everyone ought to read ( Alan Sillitoe, New Statesman )
'A magnificent testimony to the people of the ghetto ... a profound autobiographical meditation ( NEW SOCIETY )
A deeply moving but surprisingly unselfpitying book, a real pleasure to read ( TES )
