Bluman sets an urgentand intimate tone as she follows Zosia Hoffenberg from her genteelupbringing in Warsaw through the shock of the Blitzkrieg and on toher escape from Europe through the Soviet Union and Japan. Thatescape required the help of Chiune Sugihara, the Japanese consul inLithuania, who defied his superiors and helped several thousand Jewsto flee.
