Riassunto

William Tannenzapf never wavers in his determination to survive and save his wife and baby girl from the evil gripping his hometown of Stanislawów. Blond, cherubic, Renate Krakauer was a "miracle baby", born as the world descended into war and soon surrounded by misery and death. Starving and enslaved, Tannenzapf entrusts his daughter to a Polish family so that little Renate can live in "childhood oblivion"—yet still under the eyes of her loving parents. Later reunited and thrown into the trials of refugee and immigrant life, Krakauer's thoughtful observations provide fascinating insight into the perceptions of a child survivor and offer a poignant counterpoint to Tannenzapf s adult reflections on the same events. This gripping volume offers the reader the rare opportunity to read survival stories from two members of the same family.
