Description

In Nazi-occupied Warsaw, 1940, nine-year-old Anna Bauman struggles to survive in the harsh conditions of the ghetto. Her grandmother's words echo in her mind: "the truth is the safest lie." But for Anna, the truth about her identity is the most dangerous thing there is. Anna's life changes when she meets Jolanta, a woman who wants to help her escape. To do so, Anna must assume a new identity and live as Roman Catholic orphan Anna Karwolska. As she navigates this new life, Anna must confront the difficulty of remembering her true self while trying not to forget her old one entirely. This powerful historical novel sheds light on the hidden children who escaped the horrors of ghettos and concentration camps, only to lose their identity and heritage living among foreign families to stay safe.
