The book was originally published in Hebrew. It is the biography of a Jewish girl, Fredzia, who is the only member of her family to survive the WW-II holocaust in Poland. Several decades later as an adult in Israel, the recollection of events were described to her husband, Shmuel Rothbard, who organized the narrative by fitting the pieces together, as a mosaic produces a complete picture. Some of the individuals were given fabricated names, but they were actual people; the names of her family members were not changed. Her early life in eastern Poland is described, then the war displaced and disrupted her family. For a short period the extended family were together in a displacement camp, but then Fredzia, her father, and her mother fled to the forest where they lived for a while, then they were hidden by a Polish farmer. Subsequently, her father disappeared, they were ejected from their hiding place, and Fredzia and her mother wandered around the countryside until they were captured and imprisoned. Fredzia convinced the German captors that she was a Polish orphan, not related to her mother. She lived for a while with an elderly Polish widow until her mother was murdered; the trauma of this loss resulted in the decision by the widow to take her to a Catholic monastery where orphans were being sheltered. She stayed in the monastery until the end of the war, still thought to be an arian protestant. After the war, individuals of the Jewish Committee traveled throughout Poland, locating Jewish children who had survived the holocaust, and repatriating them in immigration camps. Fredzia stayed there with others until the group was transported to Israel and joined a kibbutz.
