"This anthology contains separate memoirs - poems, literary pieces, diaries - by twenty different Jewish women that describe their persecution under the Nazi regime during World War II. Separated into four sections - women who survived in hiding, by passing, in the camps and in the Soviet Union - this powerful anthology is united by the common themes of resistance and resilience. Each section is preceded by a foreword by editor Myrna Goldenberg. The women are from various cities, towns and villages in Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, and the Soviet Union, and all immigrated to Canada after the war."-- Provided by publisher.
