Yes it is about a survivor of the Holocaust. However, I can't remember her name. The book is written about the author who met her husband, a POW from Poland in a Concentration camp. They were both on Schindler's list. Some other good books on this subject are: Follow the Stars, the Last Steppe, One eye laughing the other eye weeping:a dairy of Julie Weiss. The Hiding place(that book is good, it is about Corrie Ten Boom) and I think that is all I have read be sides the Lilac Tree one. If you really like the subject and are brave enough, try and find a copy of Mein Kampf.
