TWO COMPLETE BOOKS IN ONE PACK. THE KOMMANDANTS GIRL: This work discusses hope, struggle and defiance in the face of overwhelming odds. This is a compelling tale of love and courage in dangerous and desperate times. 'Krakow, the City of Kings, was no longer mine. I had become a foreigner in the place I had always called home.' It is the year 1939. Overnight, Jewish nineteen-year-old Emma Bau's world is turned upside down when Germany invades Poland.

As secretary to the charismatic Kommandant Richwalder, Emma vows to use her unique position to gather intelligence for the Resistance, by any means necessary.
