Beyond These Walls: Escaping the Warsaw Ghetto - A Young Girl's Story by Janina

Description: Beyond These Walls by Janina Bauman First published in 1986 as Winter in the Morning, this edition has been updated and expanded by the author. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Janina Bauman was a year older than Anne Frank when the Second World War began but, unlike The Diary of Anne Frank, this is a story of survival. When Hitlers decree forced her family into the Warsaw Ghetto, Janina, an intelligent, lively girl, suddenly found herself in a cramped flat, hiding with other Jewish families. At first even curfews and the casual cruelty meted out by the German occupiers could not dim her passion for books, boys and romance. Then came the raids, and Janina, with her sister and mother, had to keep on the move, hiding in the ruins of the ghetto to avoid being one of thousands rounded up every day and deported to the camps. Their escape to the Aryan side was followed by two years in hiding, taking shelter with those willing to help them and living in constant fear of betrayal. Told through her teenage diaries, giving her story a rare immediacy, this is the extraordinary tale of a passionate young womans courage and survival. Notes Told through her teenage diaries, this is an account of growing up in the Warsaw Ghetto, which shares the vivid immediacy of the Diary of Anne Frank. This, though, is a story of survival, and is here reissued as Virago Classic Non-Fiction.
