About
For thirteen-year-old Sarah Waldman, life in the small Polish town of Olkusz is idyllic, grounded in her loving, close-knit family and the traditions of their Jewish faith.
But in 1939, as the Nazis come to power, a storm is gathering- a relentless, unforgiving storm that will sweep Sarah and her family into years of misery in the ghetto and concentration camps, tearing them apart. Will Sarah' s strong will and determination be enough for her to survive when everything she loves is taken from her?
Is it possible to resurrect a life- and find love- from the ruins? Or will Sarah be forever haunted by the memories of what she lost?
Part memoir, part fiction, What She Lost is the reimagined true-life story of the author' s grandmother growing into a woman amid the anguish of the Holocaust. It is a tale of resilience, of rebuilding a life, and of rediscovering love.
