About this title

Synopsis

Miriam Feuer Sorger spent WW II as a fugitive in her own land. Barely escaping the Nazi-built ghetto in her hometown of Kolomyia, when she was only 15, Miriam ran for her life through the war-torn countryside of her native Galicia after her blind grandmother was shot to death and her mother and sister carted off to the Belzer concentration camp.

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.
