Good in the Midst of Evil (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798349377105)

A detailed, invaluable first-hand narrative of Holocaust survival in Poland. With help from her daughter Yvona, Dana Fast tells the story of her incredible childhood experiences-life among the horrors of the Warsaw ghetto, studying at a forbidden secret school there, escape to relatives, in hiding passing as a Catholic girl in the countryside, under a new identity at a Catholic orphanage, then living, now under suspicion from regular Poles, with a woman relative claiming German ethnic status and the accompanying privileges. Through this series of name and identity shifts, Dana Fast emerges, a strong, feisty, fearless adolescent girl.A precious and important book.
