She was only ten years old when the Germans came for her family.In Sosnowicz, Poland, Sala Lewis watched her world disappear one relative at a time. Her brothers sent to work camps, a sister-in-law who never returned from a trip for milk, and finally her own parents, glimpsed once more through a schoolyard window before they vanished for good. Alone on the streets, hiding where she could, Sala learned to survive on instinct, quick thinking, and the fierce love of wanting to find her sister Dora. It is the story of a girl who became a woman determined not just to survive, but to live fully as a mother, a model, and eventually a U.S. citizen who never stopped telling the truth about what she saw.
