Produktbeschreibung
This is the memoir written by Bella Kuligowska Zucker, the only person in her family to survive the Holocaust. In September 1939, Bella was a carefree teenager living in Poland when the German army struck. She was rounded up with her friends and family and sent to a series of grim Jewish ghettos. After loved ones were separated and lost through the war years, Bella survived by changing her identity. Narrowly escaping death each time, she moved from place to place, odd job to odd job, new name to new name. After finding the birth certificate of a Catholic girl five years her senior, she became Sabina Mazurek. Then she went into the eye of the storm, Germany, where she believed she might be safest. Sabina is her story. As in Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank and Night by Elie Wiesel, Bella Kuligowska marshaled unexpected resources to manage as a teen during the horrors of World War II. Sabina offers a different perspective on how many Jews survived outside of the concentration camps, in more familiar yet infinitely hostile settings, with the help of others along the way.

Autorenporträt
Bella Kuligowska Zucker was born in Serock, Poland in 1925. She grew up in a happy home with her five brothers; everyone working in her parent's bicycle business. She was a carefree Jewish teenager when World War 2 began and the Germans occupied Poland in 1939. Bella was rounded up with her friends, neighbors and family and sent to a series of grim Jewish ghettos. After loved ones were separated and lost through the war years, Bella moved from place to place, narrowly escaping death many times. After finding a birth certificate of a Polish Catholic girl five years her senior, she changed her identity and became Sabina Mazurek. She spent the remaining war years as a Polish volunteer on a farm in rural Germany, never revealing her true identity. After the war, she tried in vain to find her missing family members. She was the lone survivor. Bella met her husband in her travels around Poland after the war and emigrated to the US in 1951. Bella spent many years perfecting her English and writing skills to share her memoir in the book entitled: Sabina: In the Eye of the Storm. Bella passed away in 2008, but her two daughters are proud to share Bella's inspiring story of survival.
