YouTube Description
as posted by the channelEver since the soldiers liberated Gross-Rosen concentration camp, 18-year-old Zofia Lederman has had one goal: find Abek, her younger brother and the only surviving member of her family. The thought of their reunion sustained her throughout the horrors of the Holocaust. Now, Zofia works to heal her traumatized mind and body as she desperately searches for one refugee among millions. Her quest takes her to a displaced persons camp, where she meets others struggling to rebuild their lives. Even as she forms new connections, Zofia is haunted by one question—will she find the one person who means everything? This haunting and utterly immersive novel vividly depicts one woman’s determination to move forward after surviving the unthinkable. In conversation with Justine Kenin of NPR's All Things Considered. Ages 13 and up.
