{en} Anita Epstein, with Noel Epstein. Miracle Child: The Journey of a Young Holocaust Survivor. Brighton, MA : Academic Studies Press, 2018.

Abstract

"This memoir is about a Jewish baby born in the Krakow ghetto in November 1942, three years after Hitler conquered Poland, and, remarkably, escaping death—one of a mere one half of one percent of Jewish children in Poland who survived during the Nazi era. Her life was saved because her parents hid her with a Catholic family. Just as remarkably, her mother, still alive after suffering terribly through four of Hitler’s camps, traveled for weeks back to Poland and found her again. The book also depicts the author’s postwar challenges in Germany and America."-- Publisher description.
