Author Description

Maria Andzelm was a Catholic teenager growing up in Nazi-occupied Poland. One by one, her Jewish friends and neighbors were hauled away to undisclosed locations, never to be seen or heard from again. Then Maria's family took in two Jewish men. They hid them in a boc underneath the floor of their barn. Every day, Maria brough tthem food to satisfy their stomachs and books to feed their minds. She did this every day for two years-and paid a terrible price.
