The Girl in the Green Sweater

Recommended Ages: 14+

Written by Krystyna Chiger.

In 1943, with Lvov's 150,000 Jews having been exiled, killed, or forced into ghettos and facing extermination, a group of Polish Jews courageously sought refuge in the city's sewer system. The last surviving member this group, Krystyna Chiger, shares one of the most intimate, harrowing and ultimately triumphant tales of survival to emerge from the Holocaust. This book is Chiger's astonishing, first-person account of the fourteen months she spent with her family in the disgusting, underground sewers of Lvov.
