About this listen

Here is a thrilling, uplifting story of true-life heroism unequaled since the publication of Anne Frank’s diary - a story that the young must hear and their elders must remember. Take Alicia’s hand - and follow.

Her name is Alicia. She was 13 when she began saving the lives of people she did not know - while fleeing the Nazis through war-ravaged Poland.

Her family cruelly wrenched from her, Alicia rescued other Jews from the Gestapo, led them to safe hideouts, and lent them her courage and hope. Even the sight of her mother’s brutal murder could not quash this remarkable child’s faith in human goodness - or her determination to prevail against overwhelming odds.

After the war, Alicia continued to risk her life, leading Polish Jews on an underground route to freedom in Palestine. She swore on her brother’s grave that if she survived, she would speak for her silenced family. This book is the eloquent fulfillment of that oath.

Wow what an ordeal Alicia survived.
This makes me grateful for my life and humbles me.
This book is an absolute education and I’m so glad I read it. It’s unbelievable what Jews had to endure. Although I knew some of this history to read a story of an individual is more pertinent.
Although the subject matter is hard to swallow I enjoyed reading it in Alicia’s words…what an incredible woman! I’d definitely recommend this book if you are interested in the subject matter.
