About this book

Amy Hill Hearth shares the story of Norman and Amalie Petranker Salsitz, a couple who survived the Holocaust in Poland by posing as Christians, and discusses the friendship that developed between the Salsitzes and Hearth, who was motivated to write the book in part by her uneasy feelings about being of German descent.
