About This Item
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart. Very Good+ in Near Fine dust jacket. 2008. First Edition. Hardcover. 077109583X . Gift notation and glue remnants on front free end paper ; DJ in Mylar, unclipped. A bright, solid book.; 8.74 X 5.75 X 0.98 inches; 339 pages; "On 21 July 1942, the Nazis reached the small Polish town of Zolkiew. Life for fifteen-year-old Clara Kramer would never be the same. While those around her were either slaughtered or transported, three families found perilous refuge in a hand-dug cellar. Hers was one of them.Living above and protecting them were the Becks. Mrs. Beck had been the families maid. Mr. Beck was alcoholic and a self-professed anti-Semite, yet he risked his life to keep his charges safe. But survival under his protection proved to be anything but predictable. Whether it was his nightly drinking sessions with officers of the SS in the room just above or his torrid affair with one of the hiding women, it seemed that Clara and the others often had as much to fear from Beck as they did from the war.Claras mother told her to keep a diary while they lived in the bunker in order to fill her time and so the world would know what happened to us. Over sixty years later, Clara Kramer has finally turned those diaries into a compelling and heartbreaking memoir a story of love and memory and survival." .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
