Publisher Description: Rose Zar flees the Piotrkow ghetto to live under false papers as an Aryan Pole. Tough, quick and gutsy, she outwits and outbluffs those who would turn her in. Rose's ironic picture of Nazi domesticity and her genuine friendship with the colonel's wife make this a unique book from beginning to end. |
