About This Item
HarperPerennial, Australia, 2009. Softcover. Good Condition. An extraordinary story of courage, forgiveness and reconciliation.Sabina Wolanski was just 12 years old when her home town in Poland was invaded by Nazis. In her diary, along with innocent adolescent longings, she recorded what happened next: the humiliations and terrors, the murder of her beloved family and the startling story of her own survival. Leaving Europe after the war, Sabina forged a new life in Australia, juggling a thriving design business, her family, and an unorthodox love life. But as time wore on, she began asking herself why had she survived when so many died? And what kind of justice fitted such crimes? In May 2005, when Germany opened its controversial Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, in Berlin, Sabina was chosen to speak as the voice of the six million dead. In her speech she noted that although the Holocaust had taken everything she valued, it had also taught her that hatred and discrimination are doomed to fail. Her ability to survive, to love, and to live well, has been her greatest triumph. Initials on bottom of page edges. 302 pages. Previous owners small sticker on front endpaper.

I knew Sabina from 1977 untill she passed away, she was a loving,gentle soul,whom listened when you spoke, no matter your age,gender or racial upbringing.this book is a remarkable true story of a will like no other, when it's way to much to bare for most humans, Sabina found a will to survive, in the most dire of circumstances that it really hard to comprehend,As a child she lost her entire world,only to fight to survive,then live,and love. Sabina was one of the most generous people,both with emotional support,and she made huge financial supports available for thoes studying and for the continuing support thru various animal charitys. We miss her dearly
