A Jew growing up in predominantly Catholic Poland during the 1920s and '30s, Gucia Gomolinska studies hard, makes friends, falls in love, and dreams of a bright future. Her world is turned upside down when Nazis invade Poland and establish the first Jewish ghetto of World War II in her town of Piotrko'w Trybunalski. As the war escalates, Gucia and her family, friends, and neighbours suffer starvation, disease, and worse. Eventually she faces a harrowing choice: risk the uncertain horrors of deportation to a concentration camp, or certain death if she is caught resisting. She decides to hide her identity as a Jew and adopts the name Danuta Barbara Tanska. Barbara, nicknamed Basia, leaves behind everything and everyone she has ever known in order to claim a new life for herself. Planaria Price, along with Basia's daughter, tells this incredible life story directly in the first person.
