139 pages. Circa 1967. "This is a story of my experience during six years of war, and of miraculous deliverance and protection. Knowing not which way to turn myself, I put my trust in a Higher Power, and an unseen hand took me out from place to place. I lived under five different governments. Poland, my country, was occupied by Russia and later by the Nazis. I was moved to Germany which was later under American occupation, and finally emigrated to Canada, now my beloved home." - Author. Frontis illustration of author in her youth. Photo of author, her husband and daughter inside back cover. A challenging true story of mystery and adventure. Prior owner's name inside front cover.

"This account of suffering and survival in wartime Poland is much more than a simple memoir. It is an exquisite piece of creative writing-concise, restrained, observant of detail, and ultra-sensitive to emotion. The author, Helena Trzcinska-now Lilka Croydon-was a lovelorn teenager when she was arrested by the Gestapo. She was the daughter of a Catholic family in Warsaw who were engaged in the underground Resistance and who were all imprisoned with her" 152p. plates. Author inscription on half-title Book
