An eyewitness account of the last days in the Warsaw Ghetto has been
published and is included in an updated edition of "The Lost Childhood:
A Telling Tale Of A Brother And Sister Surviving The War", co-authored
by Ilana Levron and her brother, Yehuda Nir.
This previously unpublished diary that Ilana (Lala) kept in 1944 reveals
the strength and struggles of the Jewish fighters, to the end. Many of
the days recorded in this diary show the bravery of these Jewish heroes
while traversing the city through the sewer system of Warsaw, with the
Nazis only a few feet about them.
The diary was translated by Massuah Institute for the Study of the
Holocaust at Kibbutz Tel Yitzhak in Israel. The original copy of the
diary is preserved in the institute's archives.
The authors also include fascinating memoirs of two Jewish men who stood
out in their lives as they all fought against the Nazi enemy.
This book details how a brother and sister, with their mother, fight to
survive the Nazi occupation of Poland during World War Two. Tragically,
their father/husband was murdered by the Nazis early in the German
occupation of Poland.
With uncanny ingenuity, and using forged identities and disguises, the
three pose as non-Jewish Poles, find employment, and avoid capture and
certain death.
Yehuda recalls a particularly proud moment: "I glanced at Mother and
Lala. We knew that this was the moment of our greatest personal victory
- eight Germans cheering a Jew who had outwitted them all!"
