Synopsis
At the outbreak of World War II, thirteen-year old Miriam Feuer and her family found themselves at the mercy of the invading Red Army in Polish Galicia. But things would only get worse with the coming of the Nazis in 1941. Escaping the Nazi-built ghetto in her hometown of Kolomyia after the murder of her grandmother and seizure of other family members, young Miriam desperately flees into the countryside, struggling to hide herself amidst the local population. Finding a modicum of safety in the home of a Ukrainian priest, her relief proves short-lived when the German commandant of the town abruptly arrives as a dinner guest -- and something more. A RAFT ON THE RIVER is the true life coming-of-age story of a young girl who finds redemption and a chance for love in the shadow of one of the most horrific episodes of the twentieth century.

From the Publisher
The true story of a young girl's struggle to survive in the shadow of the Holocaust -- it wasn't until 2006 and her eightieth birthday that Miriam Feuer Sorger could bring herself to recount, in full, the events which had so brutally ripped her from home and family and tossed her, adrift and alone, onto a river of fear and suffering unequaled until then in the twentieth century.
From the Author
Miriam Sorger's story is one of desperation, courage and no little chutzpa. Though some of the people she encountered in her desperate flight to safety were sympathetic, others clearly weren't. Her problem, of course, was to tell them apart. She lived her days on the edge, her childhood wrenched from her along with everything she had known until then. And, while the passing years have caused a natural fading of memory, we collaborated for over six months, both to record the details she still remembered while putting descriptive flesh on the bare bones of what had grown vague and hazy with the years. Working with her in 2007 to retell her story ultimately proved as gut wrenching an experience for me as living it must have been for her.
