Book synopsis

Set during World War II, when Poland was under Nazi German occupation, this story is inspired by the testimonies of survivors. While most of the descriptions of events and places are real, the plot itself is fictional. The book raises many profound questions, such as the nature of faith in God and the troubling issue of why there was so little resistance from the victims, who often participated in their own demise. There are no easy answers to these questions, but the author depicts situations in which humanity is lost, and individuals become predators, turning on their victims and resigning themselves to their fates. The protagonist, Violette, was born in Vienna to Jewish parents who emigrated to the United States on the last ship before the invasion. Due to Nazi racial laws, she was forced to abandon her university studies and was later arrested by the Gestapo. After managing to escape, she joined the partisans, where she met her red-haired lover.
