The extraordinary story of Stefania Podgorska, a Polish teenager
who chose bravery and humanity by hiding thirteen Jews in her attic
during WWII, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sharon
Cameron - now a Reese's Book Club YA Pick! One knock at the door,
and Stefania has a choice to make... It is 1943, and for four
years, sixteen-year-old Stefania has been working for the Diamant
family in their grocery store in Przemysl, Poland, singing her way
into their lives and hearts. She has even made a promise to one of
their sons, Izio -- a betrothal they must keep secret since she is
Catholic and the Diamants are Jewish. But everything changes when
the German army invades Przemysl. The Diamants are forced into the
ghetto, and Stefania is alone in an occupied city, the only one
left to care for Helena, her six-year-old sister. And then comes
the knock at the door. Izio's brother Max has jumped from the train
headed to a death camp. Stefania and Helena make the extraordinary
decision to hide Max, and eventually twelve more Jews. Then they
must wait, every day, for the next knock at the door, the one that
will mean death. When the knock finally comes, it is two Nazi
officers, requisitioning Stefania's house for the German army. With
two Nazis below, thirteen hidden Jews above, and a little sister by
her side, Stefania has one more excruciating choice to make. This
remarkable tale of courage and humanity, based on a true story, is
now a Reese's Book Club YA Pick!
