_______________________________ Against all odds, love will lead
them home. Shurka, her husband and their two small children never
thought the war would reach their remote Polish village. They were
wrong. Forced to flee their family home, they find shelter with
their fellow Jews in the ghetto - but every night more and more
people disappear, taken away on trucks to never be seen again. As
terrible rumours of extermination camps swirl, Shurka realises that
the longer they stay in the ghetto, the lower their chances of
survival. Their best hope is to flee into the Polish forest, where
Jewish resistance fighters hold out against Nazi search parties.
Their new life is precarious in the extreme - and will test them
more than they ever thought possible... Even in the dark, hope can
be found. _______________________________ Surviving The War is the
international Amazon bestselling survival and holocaust story,
based on an incredible true story and previously published as
Surviving The Forest. It has been translated into English from the
original Hebrew.
