Helene C. Kaplan Libri

These are the experiences of a young Jewish girl, the daughter of one of the few Jewish executives in the Polish oil industry. She recounts the hardships of her life under Russian and German occupation, despite her family's wealth and her father's position, and describes her activities and travels, sometimes disguised as an Aryan (including a trip to the historical city of Oberammergau). Especially moving is the description of her romantic meeting with a co-escapee from the Nazis - the man she eventually married.
