Winter in the Morning by Janina Bauman
Using her teenage diaries, the author tells of the horrors of the siege and surrender of Warsaw in 1939, the food shortages, raids and beatings, and the Nazi "Aktion" in 1942, when her family was hounded from shelter to shelter. In 1943 they escaped the ghetto but faced years in hiding.
A magnificent testimony to the people of the ghetto.. a profound autobiographical meditation * New Society *
A deeply moving but surprisingly unselfpitying book, a real pleasure to read * TES *
Absorbing...Testaments such as Janina Bauman's are important and should never be allowed to fade away * Margaret Forster *
A profound and moving book which everyone ought to read * Alan Sillitoe, New Statesman *
