Book excerpt: A TRUE LIFE SURVIVAL STORY Orphaned from her family, hometown and her very identity, a young girl struggles to survive by swimming against the deadly tide of genocide and violence in war-torn Europe. All alone, Sonia uses her wits to masquerade as an Aryan Christian. Desperately, she risks her life to smuggle food into the Ghetto, and later various parcels for the underground resistance. As vividly descriptive as a novel, hers is a harrowing ordeal of ghetto deportations and of death-defying escapes. From the invasion and the brutal occupation of Poland, to the bombing while enslaved in Germany, she endured a fugitive's life--often escaping instant death by sheer luck. "This book offers a perspective on the Holocaust you probably won't get elsewhere. Escape Into Darkness is an absolute must read." --West Coast Review of Books
