An extraordinary story about a Jewish woman who pretended to be
Catholic to survive the Holocaust. Catholics believed she was one
of them. A devoted Nazi family took her in. She fell in love with a
German engineer who built aeroplanes for the Luftwaffe. But no one
knew that Mala Rivka Kizel had been born into a large Orthodox
Jewish family. She survived World War II using her charm,
intelligence, blonde hair, and blue eyes to assume different
identities. Journalist Pieter van Os retraces Mala's footsteps
through Europe to uncover her extraordinary journey and the stories
of those who helped her. This poignant, rich book is an engrossing
meditation on what drives us to fear the Other, and what in turn
might allow us to feel compassion for them.
