IRENA'S GIFT: An Epic World War II Memoir of Sisters, Secrets, and Survival

In 1942, in German-occupied Poland, a Jewish baby girl was smuggled out of the Warsaw ghetto in a backpack. That baby, Joasia, knew nothing about this extraordinary event until she was thirty-two. To help heal her mother's pain, Karen, Joasia's daughter, set out to unearth decades of secrets and piece together a hidden history. Photos, some in color.
