[tight clean copy, very light shelfwear; jacket has diagonal creasing to both flaps, otherwise bright and clean]. (B&W photographs) "In 1985, Rose Toren revisited her native Poland. In this memoir, she recaptures her early years before the war, the Nazi invasion, and her subsequent decision to hide her Jewish identity and pass as a Pole. Though unable to establish her true identity, Nazi investigators sent her to Auschwitz, where she was considered a Pole. Although she was spared the fate of most of her fellow Jews, she did not escape the horrors of that man-made hell."
