She owes her survival, and that of her young uncle, to the striking resourcefulness of her mother. The story emerges as vividly as if it happened yesterday, full of details that only a child would notice. Although the the events of the Warsaw Ghetto and the fate of its victims has been described many times, Keese's story is exceptional, as it is told through the eyes of, not a victim, but a child engaged with her daily reality focused on survival UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781618115102 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781618115102 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781618115102/original ER -
