Description What She Lost by Melissa W. Hunter
Is it possible to resurrect a life—and find love—from the ruins? Or will Sarah be forever haunted by the memories of what she lost?
For thirteen-year-old Sarah Waldman, life in the small Polish town of Olkusz is idyllic, grounded in her loving, close-knit family and the traditions of their Jewish faith.
But in 1939, as the Nazis come to power, a storm is gathering—a relentless, unforgiving storm that will sweep Sarah and her family into years of turmoil in the ghetto and concentration camps, tearing them apart. Will Sarah’s strong will and determination be enough for her to survive when everything she loves is taken from her?
Part memoir, part fiction, What She Lost is the reimagined true-life story of the author’s grandmother growing into a woman amid the anguish of the Holocaust. It is a tale of resilience, of rebuilding a life, and of rediscovering love.

What a powerful story, I’d love to have a copy. Thanks.
Sounds like a heartfelt story. Thanks for the giveaway.
What She Lost interests me greatly since I am Jewish. Every Holocaust story is meaningful, emotional, and memorable.
Fabulous cover
Relatives were in work camps in Poland and they never talked about their experience. Their spouses never found out until very recently.
