Full Description
In October 1942, thirteen-year-old Rózia Handelsman (Rose Lipszyc) manages to escape certain death as her family is being deported from their home near Lublin, Poland. Alone and terrified, she flees to a neighbor's house and is reunited with her aunt, Róza Finkielsztajn. With the help of friends and strangers, the two Roses adopt false identities and disguise themselves as Polish gentile sisters. Against all odds, they survive the war in a forced-labor camp in Nazi Germany.
A collaboration between award-winning graphic novelist Miriam Libicki and Holocaust survivor Rose Lipszyc, this book illuminates a crucial part of our shared history with care, honesty, and creativity.
