In 1943, with Lvov's 150,000 Jews having been exiled, killed, or forced into ghettos and facing extermination, a group of Polish Jews daringly sought refuge in the city's sewer system. The last surviving member of this group, Krystyna Chiger, shares one of the most intimate, harrowing and ultimately triumphant tales of survival to emerge from the Holocaust. "The Girl in the Greeen Sweater" is Chiger's first-person account of the fourteen months she spent with her family in the fetid sewers of Lvov. It is also the story of Leopold Socha, the group's unlikely savior. A Polish Catholic and former thief, Socha risked his life to help Chiger's underground family survive. A moving memoir of life under unimaginable circumstances, "The Girl in the Greeen Sweater" is ultimately a tale of intimate survival, friendship, and redemption.

A movie was made of this book; but as in many cases, the book is much better than the movie! I'm so glad Holocaust survivors are able to give a first-hand account of their experiences so we know what actually happened during this terrible time. May it never happen again!
