A novel based on a true story, a mother and
daughter risk their lives to provide shelter to two families and
a German soldier--all unbeknownst to each other--in a tiny two-room
house in Sokal, Poland, during the Nazi invasion.
Based on a
true story, MY MOTHER'S SECRET is a profound, captivating, and
ultimately uplifting tale intertwining the lives of two Jewish families
in hiding from the Nazis, a fleeing German soldier, and the clever and
"righteous" mother and daughter who teamed up to save them.
Franciszka and her daughter, Helena, are unlikely heroines. They are
simple people who mind their own business and don't stand out from the
crowd. Until 1939, when crisis strikes. The Nazis have invaded Poland
and they are starting to persecute the Jews. Providing shelter to a Jew
has become a death sentence. And yet, Franciszka and Helena decide to do
just that. In their tiny, two-bedroom home in Sokal, Poland, they
cleverly hide a Jewish family of two brothers and their wives in their
pigsty out back, a Jewish doctor with his wife and son in a makeshift
cellar under the kitchen floorboards, and a defecting German soldier in
the attic--each group completely unbeknownst to the others. For everyone
to survive, Franciszka will have to outsmart her neighbors and the
German commanders standing guard right outside her yard.
Told
simply and succinctly from four different perspectives, MY MOTHER'S
SECRET is a reminder that there are, in fact, no profiles of courage and
each individual's character is a personal choice.
This book was
inspired by the true story of Franciszka Halamajowa, who, with her
daughter, saved the lives of fifteen Jews in Poland during the Second
World War. She also hid a young German soldier in her attic at the same
time. Before the war, there were six thousand Jews in Sokal, Poland.
Only thirty survived the war and half of those did so because of
Franciszka.
