More DescriptionHere, There Are No Sarahs is the remarkable true story of one such person. Only 18 years old when the Nazi¿s began the `liquidation¿ of the Polish quarter in which she lived, Sarah Shainwald and her family escaped to the forests along the borders of Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus, where they spent a brutal winter barely surviving. Hope came in the form of a Soviet partisan brigade, who took them in, hid their identities - giving Sarah the new name of Sonia - and taught them how to fight back against the Germans. A truly inspirational tale, this is a must-read volume for anyone who wants to understand this often overlooked part of modern European history.
