Krisia's Silence by Ronny Hein

Krisia's Silence by Ronny Hein

Staying silent meant staying alive during the six years Krisia spent in ghettos and concentration camps.

After surviving the Holocaust, she would remain silent for the rest of her life.

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 Plasz w 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 Plasz w, 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
