"By Pure Luck" tells the remarkable story of how Fela Igielnik
survived life in the Warsaw ghetto and the brutality of World War
II. But more than that, it reveals the possibility of transforming
even the darkest of experiences - starvation, forced labor and
marches, institutionalized hatred - into opportunities for
furthering education and understanding. Alternating between
harrowing narrative and essayistic interpretation; written in a
style that is at once childlike in perspective and scathingly
mature in its interrogation of the absurdities of war and the
consequences of intolerance and bigotry, "By Pure Luck" represents
the culminating story of a young woman who managed to survive, even
at times flourish, under six years of Nazi brutality as well as
many years of uncertainty and unanswered questions. Retaining her
humanity, through her efforts at recording the events of the
Holocaust and tackling subjects such as post-War politics and the
role of education in preventing further genocides, Fela Igielnik
has left behind a remarkable document that teaches us that to
remember is to educate.
