Hardcover. A few days after the Germans occupied Vilna at the end of June 1941, Ruth Leimenzon's husband was seized by local collaborators and was never seen again. Ruth, the sole survivor of her murdered family, managed to survive two years in the ghetto using her intelligence and common sense, helped by luck and perhaps miracles. Just two days before the ghetto's liquidation in September 1943, Ruth escaped with the help of a Christian woman, her former boss' wife, and found a hiding place in a barn on a farm 20 kilometers from Vilna, where she hid for nearly a year. During the last two months in the barn, Ruth wrote a diary in Yiddish describing her three-year ordeal.
