The Girl in the Green Sweater by Daniel Paisner
In 1943, with Lvov's 150,000 Jews having been exiled, killed, or forced into ghettos and facing extermination, a group of Polish Jews daringly sought refuge in the city's sewer system. The last surviving member of this group is Krystyna Chiger. This title offers an account of the 14 months Chiger spent with her family in the fetid sewers of Lvov.
"Touches us in an unexpected way, revealing highs and lows in man's capacity for evil, as well his capacity to love life and other human beings" - Naomi Ragen, Author of the Saturday Wife and The Covenant "With a powerful story and a keen voice, Chiger's Holocaust survivor's tale is a worthy and memorable addition to the canon." Publishers Weekly"
Krystyna Chiger survived the Holocaust by hiding with her family in the sewers of Lvov, Poland for 14 months. A retired dentist, she lives in Long Island. Daniel Paisner has collaborated on many books, including the New York Times bestselling Last Man Down: A Firefighter's Story of Survival and Escape from the World Trade Center.
