Uri J. Nachimson

Set during World War II when Poland was under German Nazi occupation. Based on testimonies of survivors, most of the descriptions of the events and places are real, but like any novel of its kind, the plot is fiction. Violette,was born in Vienna to Jewish parents who immigrated to the United States on the last vessel before the invasion. Due to Nazi racial laws, she was forced to leave her university studies, was arrested by the Gestapo, managed to escape, and joined the partisans, where she met her red-haired lover.As the son of Holocaust survivors, most of whose families perished in concentration camps, Uri J. Nachimson researches for many years the role of Poles in the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis on Jews and other minorities and comes to clear conclusions; There were also good Poles, but they were few, Poland became and will forever remain the largest cemetery of the Jewish people. Its soil is soaked in their blood, and their ashes cover the earth's layers; their properties and belongings have been stolen from them by their Polish neighbors
