On September 27, 1939, after the Nazi invasion, Poland ceased to
exist as a nation. Ten-year-old Hanna Davidson's father, Simon, and
older brother, Kazik, had been drafted to defend Warsaw. Hanna and
her mother, Sofia, found themselves subjected to Hitlers efforts to
dehumanize Poland's Jewish population. There seemed no choice but
to submit to a ruthless tyranny. Learning that Simon and Kazik were
alive in the Soviet-occupied zone of Poland, Hanna and her mother
decided to risk a harrowing escape from Nazi Poland into safer
Soviet territory. With only the clothes on their backs, they fled
their apartment to face a daunting crossing and the threat of
persecution under Stalin's regime. As recounted by Hanna, the
Davidson's journey into the Soviet interior makes for an
extraordinary story. More than a memoir of survival, their story is
clearly one of a family whose spirit could not be destroyed by
persecution, war, famine, or political oppression.
