"Despite the substantial number of Holocaust memoirs that have been published, The Girl in the Green Sweater manages to touch us in an unexpected way, revealing highs and lows in man's capacity for evil, as well his capacity to love life and other human beings. Through the eyes of the child that Krystyna Chiger was in Lvov, Poland in 1939 we see the whole moral universe." -- Naomi Ragen, author of The Saturday Wife and The Covenant "[A] gripping memoir. . .

Chiger's seven-year-old cypher possesses a self-awareness that springs from her inner and outer turmoil, capturing well the despair and terror of a life in hiding.

Krystyna Chiger's memoir about her harrowing childhood in Lvov, Poland, during the Holocaust is a straightforward account of her family's witness to the incrediblesadism, suffering and cruelty heaped upon the Jews of Lvov under the Russians and then Hitler. Throughout Chiger's story, time and again, we are vividly reminded that we humans -- even as very young and frightened children -- are capable of enduring, and surviving, much, much more than we know. -- Karen Tintori, author of Unto the Daughters: The Legacy of an Honor Killing in a Sicilian-American Family and Trapped: The 1909 Cherry Mine Disaster "This often unimaginable survival story should not be missed." --Port Washington News, Despite the substantial number of Holocaust memoirs that have been published, The Girl in the Green Sweater manages to touch us in an unexpected way, revealing highs and lows in man's capacity for evil, as well his capacity to love life and other human beings.

Synopsis
True story from the major motion picture "In Darkness," official 2012 Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film. In 1943, with Lvov's 150,000 Jews having been exiled, killed, or forced into ghettos and facing extermination, a group of Polish Jews daringly sought refuge in the city's sewer system. The last surviving member this group, Krystyna Chiger, shares one of the most intimate, harrowing and ultimately triumphant tales of survival to emerge from the Holocaust. Originally published as The Girl in the Green Sweater, In Darkness is Chiger's harrowing first-person account of the fourteen months she spent with her family in the fetid, underground sewers of Lvov. In Darkness is also the story of Leopold Socha, the group's unlikely savior. A Polish Catholic and former thief, Socha risked his life to help Chiger's underground family survive, bringing them food, medicine, and supplies. A moving memoir of a desperate escape and life under unimaginable circumstances, In Darkness is ultimately a tale of intimate survival, friendship, and redemption.

- 7***r (585)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseNice book at a good price. Only issue I had with this Seller is the fact they use a "third party" shipping company called OSM Worldwide, that is very poor at their job. This third party caused a delay of 3 to 4 days at least in my receiving the book I purchased. I have contacted the Seller and made them aware of this issue. Should you decide to do business with this Seller just be aware that your book may take longer than usual to arrive.
- c***n (67)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis book was the completely wrong item (BUYERS BEWARE - STOCK IMAGE IS *NOT* THE EDITION YOU WILL RECEIVE!), seller communication was awful (didn't answer any questions, barely legible English), shipping was extremely late (sent false tracking number then actually shipped it 2+ weeks post-order date), and it was poorly packaged (book corners bent up since shipped in a plastic bag with no padding or support whatsoever). Awful experience with this seller in every imaginable way.
- 7***5 (218)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem is just as described, although it’s pictured larger than actual size; which is the size of a deck of flash cards. Also disappointed that the item was mailed to wrong address or customer mix up & no one responded to my email or apologized or explained why item was sent somewhere else. I don’t know if this is a reflection of seller or seller’s employees? I had a project to use it on & just moved forward. Thank you seller.
