Author Alicia Appleman-Jurman was 13 when she escaped alone from a firing squad and, while hiding from Nazis and collaborators, began saving the lives of strangers.
She was 14 when she started an orphanage for other children whose families, like her own, had been murdered. She was 15 when she began smuggling Jews to freedom in Palestine. Her autobiography is absorbing, frightening, and thrilling. She wrote it because, she tells us, “I believe that the book will teach young people what enormous reserves of strength they possess within themselves.”
