Out of the ghetto
An account of the Holocaust experiences of Jankiel (Jack) Klajman, who was born in Warsaw in 1931. Describes life in the ghetto, where his parents died. A brother and sister were deported to Treblinka and perished; another brother, hiding on the "Aryan side", was denounced and killed. Klajman, with his non-Jewish appearance, snuck in and out of the ghetto, smuggling food; he also was a messenger for a resistance group. During the uprising in 1943 he escaped from the ghetto and hid, protected for over a year by a Polish woman. Since he was the only survivor of his family, he was sent to England after the war with other Jewish orphans; he later settled in Canada. xii, 154 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.
