Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fair. Special Edition. "The first authentic eyewitness account of the Polish Jews' ordeal by Nazi terror. The author was 15 years old when Hitler marched into Poland.

As a factual report on the life and death of a people, this book ranks with the remarkable documents of the war." - dust jacket. "Mary Berg (born Miriam Wattenberg 1924-2013) was active in telling the story of the Warsaw Ghetto through the early 1950s, being on radio and making appearances to publicize what we now call the Holocaust.
