Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xiii, [1], 161, [1] pages. Frontis illustration. Illustrations (many in color). After hiding with her mother in the apartment of Polish Catholics during World War II, Dr. Toll went on to spend the rest of her life writing, teaching, and s…peaking about the Holocaust. Toll spent more than a year when she was a girl with her mother in the tiny space in Poland after they failed to escape the Nazi invasion. Her father, brother, and other relatives had disappeared â" presumably murdered â" and she spent her hours in hiding in 1943-44 by writing stories, and passages in her diary, and painting more than 65 watercolor pictures. Her paintings imagined what it would have been like to attend school, have playmates, and visit the countryside. As a child in Poland during the Second World War, the author began to keep notes from the day the Germans entered Lwo'w, her birthplace, in 1941. Two years later, when her mother and the author were hidden from the Nazis by a Christian couple who risked their lives to save theirs, she invented her own code that she called her "Esperanto," her universal language, and converted such dangerous words as "ghetto" and ''Jews" into it. She reasoned that, if the Gestapo ever found her writing, they would not realize that she was Jewish and thus would not destroy it. Nelly produced twenty nine paintings which tell the story of a lovable, imaginative child beset with terrifying uncertainties, and of the courageous mother who nurtured her daughter's unswerving belief in brighter days ahead. Later, her diary was adapted into a play that was produced at several venues, and her art, to which she added for the rest of her life, was displayed around the world, including at the Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, and the German Historical Museum in Berlin. Behind the Secret Window won a 1994 International Reading Association's Book Award, and a New York Times book review called it an "important and deeply moving document." Derived from a Kirkus review: In Toll's remembrance, art equals hope: her happy family pictures, painted in the secret room where she and her mother hid from the Nazis and the Poles, show extraordinary preteen talent (some of the 29 powerfully evocative paintings reproduced here now hang in Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial in Israel) as well as the will to survive. Nelly's plightâ"going from bonbons served on silver platters to hiding behind false wallsâ"was not atypical. In some ways reminiscent of Maus, this emotionally complex and informative memoir reports the willingness of some neighbors to turn in Jews for a bag of potatoes and a bottle of vodka. Adults are keenly observed: a tutor nearly becomes a sex offender; the paranoid man who hides Nelly is both horrifying and funny. The poignancy is heightened by evocative language (``minutes walked by with small steps'') and raw emotional hunger (``waiting, waiting for Papa''), and by the postwar rush to reconstitute families by swift remarriagesâ"not seen in many Holocaust books, but an important aspect of healing.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Nelly S. Toll's Behind the Secret Window is a deeply moving memoir recounting her childhood in hiding during the Holocaust. Just eight years old when the Nazis occupied Poland, Toll and her mother were hidden by a Catholic family in Lwów (now Lviv, U…kraine). During the thirteen months they remained concealed in a single room, the young Toll created a series of vivid watercolor paintings that imagined the life she longed to live outside. These paintings - many reproduced in the book - offer a rare visual testimony of a child's inner world during one of the darkest periods of the twentieth century. Published by Dial Books in 1993, this copy is the true First Edition, First Printing, confirmed by the copyright page stating 'First Edition' and the full number line 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2. The work combines Toll's adult recollections with reproductions of the watercolor paintings she created while in hiding, forming a powerful historical document that has often been compared to other firsthand accounts of childhood during the Holocaust. This copy is signed and warmly inscribed by Nelly S. Toll, dated January 1994, and includes a small hand-drawn illustration by the author. Also laid in are two pieces of related ephemera: a postcard reproducing one of Toll's childhood paintings and a handwritten note referencing a lecture appearance, adding interesting contextual material tied to the author's later career as a lecturer and artist. Condition: Near Fine / Near Fine. The book is clean and well preserved with a tight binding and bright boards. Pages appear clean and unmarked aside from the author's inscription. The dust jacket remains bright with only light shelf wear. Overall an attractive collectible example, enhanced by the author inscription and accompanying ephemera. Nelly S. Toll is a Holocaust survivor, educator, and artist whose childhood paintings from her time in hiding became internationally recognized historical artifacts. After emigrating to the United States in 1951, she studied art and education and later taught art history and counseling. Many of her wartime paintings are preserved in museum collections, including Yad Vashem in Israel, and her memoir has become an important educational work used in Holocaust studies and children's historical literature. Inscribed by Author(s).
