Summary:
The year was 1941, and Nazi Germany was bombing Poland. Celia Kassow, a young Jewish girl, knew she was in danger, so she ran to seek shelter at a Polish classmate's house. The classmate's response? "Get away from here, you dirty Jew." Celia and her family were then imprisoned in a Nazi ghetto. A different Polish classmate of Celia's, a boy who had a crush on her, helped Celia escape to his family's farm, and eventually, into the woods to join the Soviet partisans.
