A Rose Blooms Again

the long version

"This is the true story of inner transformation, survival, and a young Jewish girl's journey into womanhood during the darkest days of the Holocaust. This emotionally charged memoir begins with recollections of joyous times in prewar Poland. Born into wealth rare for Polish Jewry, the author recalls a girlhood of privilege, and teen years spent in anticipation of war. Like the rest of the nation, her family was consumed by spirited political debates, only to be abruptly silenced by sirens screaming in the night. Poland had fallen to Hitler's Germany in a swift and savage invasion that would forever alter young Rose Strzegowski's fate ... and that of the world."--Jacket.
