Synopsis
At the outbreak of World War II, thirteen-year old Miriam Feuer and her family found themselves at the mercy of the invading Red Army in Polish Galicia. But things would only get worse with the coming of the Nazis in 1941. Escaping the Nazi-built ghetto in her hometown of Kolomyia after the murder of her grandmother and seizure of other family members, young Miriam desperately flees into the countryside, struggling to hide herself amidst the local population. Finding a modicum of safety in the home of a Ukrainian priest, her relief proves short-lived when the German commandant of the town abruptly arrives as a dinner guest -- and something more. A RAFT ON THE RIVER is the true life coming-of-age story of a young girl who finds redemption and a chance for love in the shadow of one of the most horrific episodes of the twentieth century.

Synopsis
Miriam Feuer Sorger spent World War II as a fugitive in her own land. Barely escaping the Nazi-built ghetto in her hometown of Kolomyia, when she was only fifteen, Miriam ran for her life through the war-torn countryside of her native Galicia after her blind grandmother was shot to death and her mother and sister carted off to the Belzer concentration camp. Adopting a new identity, Miriam found employment in the home of a Ukrainian priest as nanny to his children, only to realise she had gone from the frying pan to the fire when the local Gestapo commandant turned up as a dinner guest - and something more. It wasn't until 2006 and her eightieth birthday that she could finally bring herself to recount, in full, the events which had so brutally ripped her from her home and loved ones and tossed her, adrift and alone, onto a river of fear and suffering unequalled, until then, in the twentieth century.
