About this ebook
Imagine being dragged from your bed in the darkest, coldest hours of the night, and taken to a place you believed only existed in nightmares.
That is what happened to Helena, and the rest of the haunted souls in Krakow's Podgorze Ghetto. She had heard the rumours. They all had. But with half of her family already dead or missing, hope was all that Helena had left.
But hope can be distinguished as easily as a candle in the wind. Nazi liquidation wasn't just a nightmare. It was real.
And it was happening to Helena.
