A Polish child's view of surviving the Holocaust.

The second in a five part series dealing with Poland and WWII, this deals with 1944-1947. As a result of denying their Jewish identity a boy and his mother have survived the horrors of war, while most of their relatives, neighbors and communities have been destoyed. The unexpected problem is how to survive the peace. As ethnic and political animosities resurface in a fluid and lawless post war Poland the child begins to believe that there is only war, and peace is a period where war continues, barely hidden, waiting to erupt again. This is an excellent short book, more fact than fiction, and worth the time to read.
