Summary In Poland in Autumn 1942, to save his two daughters from the Holocaust, a Jewish doctor sends them with forged papers as Polish forced laborers into the lion's den itself: Germany. Escaping from the ghetto, Eva and Irene initially use the names of Katarzyna and Elzbieta. They make their way from a forced-labor collection point to a machine factory in the German Ruhr. Forced to move again, they assume new identities, finally arriving at a vineyard in the Rhine Valley and a boat that will take them all the way to the Swiss border. An incredible journey to the limits of humanity, inspired by a true story. View more details
