review 1: One of the best Holocaust books I have read, and I have read a lot. This is the personal account of a young Jewish girl who hid with her family in the city sewers of Lvov, Poland for 14 months to escape the Nazi regime. There were actually 21 people who were at the mercy of a few sewer workers who risked their lives to keep them alive. It was eye-opening and moving to see how they maintained hope and their humanity while trying to survive. This story is inspiring and humbling. It should be read and remembered.
review 2: What took the author so long to write this story? This story is unbelievable and should have been told decades ago. It is an unforgettable story that will resonate with the reader for a long time if not forever. Whenever we need to traverse a di
... morefficult period in our own lives, this should be the story that should have us drawing upon our perserverance and willpower. How a group of human beings can live for 14 months amongst the rats, sewage, darkness, cold and surrounded by mud strewn walls is beyond belief. The other unbelievable aspect of this story is the stark contrast between sheer evil and selfless goodness. How one man can make such a difference for a dozen complete stranger's lives is remarkable and that is why he is honored at the Washington Holocaust Memorial Museum. In order to honour his memory and the memory of all who suffered, perished and fought for their lives read this story! You will not regret the time spent learning a piece of history (however small)! less
