Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Special Edition. "The first authentic eyewitness account of the Polish Jews' ordeal by Nazi terror. The author was 15 years old when Hitler marched into Poland. From that time, until her arrival in the United States in 1944, she kept a day-to-day record of her four years i…n the ghetto itself, a brief period of confinement in a Warsaw prison prior to her dispatch to a French internment camp, and her eventual journey to freedom. As a factual report on the life and death of a people, this book ranks with the remarkable documents of the war." - dust jacket. "Mary Berg (born Miriam Wattenberg 1924-2013) was active in telling the story of the Warsaw Ghetto through the early 1950s, being on radio and making appearances to publicize what we now call the Holocaust. After that, she dropped out of public view, resolutely refusing to participate publicly in any Holocaust-related events, zealously guarding her privacy." - Wikipedia.
