From a crowded Sabbath table in Bialystok to the gas chambers of Auschwitz and the fires of resistance, one family fights to stay human as the world turns to ash.
Bialystok, once noisy with markets, arguments, and Sabbath songs, narrows to a cellar, a factory floor, then barbed wire. The Lefkovitz family--patriarch Nachum, fierce Fraida, brilliant Emma and her beloved Yoel--are swept from prosperity into the tightening fist of Nazi rule. Synagogues burn. Hospitals are raided. Children vanish into transports to the east. Every rumor is worse than the last, and every choice could mean life or instant death.
Inside the ghetto, hunger, terror, and betrayal grind people down. Yet Emma runs messages, smuggles weapons, hides the pregnant and the hunted. As deportations to extermination camps accelerate, she and the underground weigh an impossible question: walk quietly toward the trains, or turn the ghetto itself into a battlefield.
Told with unflinching honesty and searing intimacy, A Woman of Valor follows the Lefkovitzes from ghetto liquidation and trains packed with the dying, to forests where partisans strike back and, later, the fragile rebirth of survivors in Israel.
Readers who were gripped by the emotional force of The Tattooist of Auschwitz will be unable to look away from this family's shattering, unforgettable journey.
