Thousands of Jewish 'hidden' children disappeared into the vortex of a horrific war. And Madeline, a freelance journalist, is driven to find two of them...her long-lost aunts. December, 1939. When the Gestapo haul Izaak and Maria Szpilmann away to Ravensbrück, their twin infants are left behind to die. Instead, neighbors Gustaw and Ròsa Dudek rescue the babies and flee occupied Poland. They are never heard from again. Today. Maria Szpilmann has survived Ravensbrück, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen. Now she is grandmother to Madeline Sommers, a young journalist who, despite the odds, passionately clings to the belief that the lost twins are still alive. Her single-minded mission is to find them-and reunite them with her failing grandmother-before it's too late. The stunning sequel to the beloved novel, Katia. Don't miss Bruce Judisch's other novels, The Journey Begun and The Word Fulfilled.
