| Publisher Description: When Jan Balicki loses his wife, his mother and his two sisters to the Holocaust, he is devastated. To escape certain death at the hands of the Nazis, he goes into hiding in one of Warsaw's many ruined houses, with hunger, cold and sickness as his constant companions. Worst of all, he is plagued by memories and regrets about his murdered family. During his time in the ruins, he realizes that while the Nazis pose a deadly threat, his real enemy comes from within. "One Chance in a Thousand" is the story of one man trying to remain human in inhumane times, when survival may depend less on skill, and more on sheer luck. |
