In the summer of 1942, the Rabinowitz family narrowly escaped the Nazi ghetto in their Polish town by fleeing to the Bialowieza Forest. They miraculously survived two years in the woods—through brutal winters, Typhus outbreaks, and Nazi raids—and later immigrated to the United States. Rebecca Frankel tells their remarkable story in this National Jewish Book Award finalist, and also recounts how a chance encounter at a wedding in Brooklyn reunited the Rabinowitz clan with a young man named Philip, whom they had saved from a ghetto massacre.
