"They won't kill everyone in the ghetto right away," he continues, his voice matter-of-fact. "They still need workers. But not for long. After all, they have us Poles to work for them, don't they?" He paused then, and looked at me. It was frozen like Polish winter. It was cold right through into my bones. "You know Miriam," Mr. Kraszenski suggested, "you could be one of us." With her blue eyes and blonde hair, Marisa could be a Polish Christian girl. But living a lie can also be a horrible burden for a young woman to bear. Writing in the same dramatic style as her other outsanding Holocaust stories, Carol Matas has outdone herself with this realistic, poignant story set in World War II Poland and Germany.

Award-winning author Carol Matas based this story on the experiences of real people and has this to say about In My Enemy's House: When I was researching World War II, I discovered that some Jewish people had survived the war hiding inside Germany. This was an amazing story of escape in the heart of the Nazi state itself. What would it be like to hide in plain sight of your enemy? I knew immediately that this was a story I had to tell.
Carol is the award-winning author of many historical novels for young people, including Greater Than Angels, The Garden, After the War, Lisa, Daniel's Story, and Rebecca. She has earned many awards, including the Jewish Book Award (twice) and the Geoffrey Bilson Award, and has received two nominations the Governor General's Award.
