The Girl in the Green Sweater - Krystyna Chiger

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 sur-vival 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 Leo-pold Socha, the group\'s unlikely savior. A Polish Catholic and former thief, Socha risked his life to help Chiger\'s underground family sur-vive, 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 inti-mate survival, friendship, and re-demption.
