Publisher's Synopsis
Britain and France, Poland's allies, declared war on Germany in response. But for others, the war started earlier. The Second World War started because the three major expansionist "Axis" powers-Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and Imperial Japan-wanted to conquer other countries and build empires.
This book is an amazing story of survival against all odds and a great achievement for the writer who was a teenager during World War 2, 1939-1945. This is the personal story of a family torn apart, always on the run from country to country, hiding, hoping not to be discovered, and praying to survive.
