A Jewish resistance fighter during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Anna reluctantly forms a relationship with a Treblinka death camp guard who, after the war ends, is hunted by an Auschwitz survivor who seeks to execute him for mass murder. At the novel's outset, the idealistic Anna tells her university friends in Warsaw that they should meet the German invaders with Tolstoyan passive resistance, not with violence. But Anna learns that extermination of the Jews is the grand plan as she desperately tries to save ghetto children and herself. Julian Kravetz, a New York City novelist, discovers the story of Anna after the death of his parents in the late 20th Century when he finds their diaries at his father's former Chinatown apartment. Kravetz slowly pieces together in a novel what actually happened to his parents in Poland and later in Germany.

Mr. Dorion is a retired New York City teacher of English and history who wrote Comrade Anna over 13 years. He currently lives with his wife, Uraiwan, in New Hampshire. His next novel, entitled "Jack," is due to be published in 2014. "Jack" is set in Charleston, South Carolina, and on the high seas before and during the American Civil War. It focuses on Jack and his friends. A 'rebel's rebel' Jack, an adventurous, highly competitive adolescent, challenges the racist teachings of his schoolmaster, forcing him to quit his career, and later steals a slave ship in Jamaica with the cargo aboard. He ultimately meets his fate at the epic battle of Gettysburg. Another of Mr. Dorion's books is "The Lucky Lobsters" which was published in 2006.
