Rochelle Dreeben's moving memoir retells her holocaust experiences: her escape with her mother from the Warsaw Ghetto, where her father stayed to fight in the Uprising; her mother Leonia's resourcefulness as they harrowingly avoided the death camps; Rochelle's exodus through war torn Poland with other "orphans" driven from their safe haven in a Catholic convent; and Rochelle and Leonia's final escape to America. This finely written memoir is Rochelle's tribute to her courageous mother and is a gift to us all.
