'That nickname . . .' '"Little bird." It wasn't mine. I found out
later he gave it to every little girl that came in to be injected.
"Little Bird" didn't mean anything. It was a trick. There were
thousands of "little birds", just like me, all thinking they were
the only one.' As a reporter, Jacques Peretti has spent his life
investigating important stories. But there was one story, heard in
scattered fragments throughout his childhood, that he never thought
to investigate. The story of how his mother survived Auschwitz. In
the few last months of the Second World War, thirteen-year-old
Alina Peretti, along with her mother and sister, was one of
thirteen thousand non-Jewish Poles sent to Auschwitz. Her
experiences there cast a shadow over the rest of her life. Now
ninety, Alina has been diagnosed with dementia. Together, mother
and son begin a race against time to record her memories and
preserve her family's story. Along the way, Jacques learns
long-hidden secrets about his mother's family. He gains an
understanding of his mother through retracing her past, learning
more about the woman who would never let him call her 'Mum'.
