WARSAW 1942

On a cold, dark night in Warsaw in 1942, the Balicki children watch in horror as Nazi Storm Troopers arrest their mother. Now they are alone. With the war raging around them, food and shelter are hard to come by. They live in constant fear.

Finally, they get word that their father is alive. He has made it to Switzerland. Edek and Ruth are determined to find him, though they know how dangerous the long trip from Warsaw will be. But they also know that if they don't make it, they may never see their parents again.

Their gripping story is taken from actual accounts.

Write-Up Regarding Books Escape from Warsaw

This is a wonderful book! The novel tells the poignant story of a group of childrens search for their parents in World War II ravaged Europe. The story revolves around the siblings Ruth, Edek and Bronia, and their friend Jan a resourceful but eccentric, street-smart kid. The siblings had a happy life in with their family in Poland. But, one day the Nazis would come for them and their world would turn upside down. Somehow they would flee and learn to survive on the streets. Ruth, the elder

This is one of those books that I read as a child, maybe 9 years old, and loved enough to have remembered it ever since. So 5 stars!

I remember the first time I bought this book. I was nine years old and had just discovered the joy of Scholastic school book order forms (back when you could still order brand-new books for yourself by mail for only four dollars with no shipping costs), and Escape from Warsaw was one of my first. It's a novel which is based on true accounts, but what really makes it hit home as an important story is how realistic the characters are, and how they could easily be just like you or me. WWII was

Definitely a classic. A fast moving and personal account of Polish children searching for their parents who had been taken from them in World War II. In my opinion it's a more engaging read than I Am David.

I have a very soft spot for this book. I read it when I was around 11 and remember gradually realising that it was a book about Polish children. I was born in the UK but my parents were both Polish and with a strong cultural identity, and they had both lived through WWII. Reading this book was great: I was at an age where I just wanted to be assimilated into English culture and here was an excellent English book about a Polish experience. It allowed me to validate my Polish heritage as it

This one will always have special memories for me because I remember my Mom reading aloud to me. But aside from my fond memories, it is simply a wonderful story and just as good the second time around. This book is a great introduction to younger readers about the hardships and loss of WW2 without introducing all the fine details on all the horrors and violence. A story of the every-day heroism of people trying to piece their lives back together in the middle of devastation, this author

3.5 stars. Full thoughts here (and yes, this is really my Escape from Warsaw review but the British title is The Silver Sword and I like that way better): https://iamcharlesbakerharris.wordpre...
