About the Book

For nine-year-old Krisia, who was swept into the whirlwind horrors of the Holocaust, life was hanging by a thread on a daily basis. For six torturous years, she was forced to live at the mercy of her Nazi tormentors.

Life at Płaszów camp, one of the three camps where she was imprisoned, was harrowing – especially for such a young child. The food was scarce and torture and death were the daily norms. At Płaszów, several members of her family managed to buy their freedom, ending up on the list of factory director Oskar Schindler. Both Krisia and her mother, however, were left out from Schindler’s list after an uncle of theirs refused to pay the price for their freedom.

Her unwavering silence kept the young girl alive.

This is the tender, moving story of unconditional love from a son, the author, to his mother, offering an intimate look into the lives of people who had to deal with an abominable past while finding the necessary strength to move forward.

Impressive narrative of how Christina survived the Holocaust. I met her personally and lived with her for many years without knowing her history. Reading this book I could understand a lot of his personality. I miss her and dear Sven (Osvaldo for some).

I just read the book. I really enjoyed reading. Interesting how the author brings doubts about the untold gaps in the facts and shares the decisions on how to fill them. It is honest and generates a complicity with the reader. What a story !! Worthy of a John le Carré. There were days wrapped up in the plot and in silent dialogue. I recommend.
