| Zusammenfassung: | "In the town of Siemiatycze, Poland (know as Semiatych by the Jewish community), the Lisogurski family--Rachel, her husband, Avrumeh, and their young daughter, Chana (b. 1938) live peacefully until the onset of World War II. When Poland is split between Soviet and German occupation, they are first under the Soviet regime. But in 1941, Nazi Germany invades eastern Poland and devastation hits the Jewish community as persecution escalates. In August 1942, when the Jewish community is forced into a ghetto, Rachel has a sense of the impending tragedy. She is determined to escape and tries valiantly to warn others and encourage their escape as well. On the night the ghetto is to be liquidated and the Jewish community deported to the Treblinka death camp, Rachel, Avrumeh, their four-year-old daughter, Chana, and a few family members defy the Nazis and escape the ghetto. The memoir follows their trials and tribulations from October 1942 to liberation in July 1944 as as they survive the Holocaust by searching for hiding places, negotiating with Polish gentiles, and dealing with harrowing events while hiding in small villages near their hometown. A few families provide shelter, but friends turn them away. Where Rachel's memoir ends, at liberation, Chana's memoir begins. She writes of their postwar lives, their immigration to Canada in 1948, and their relationship with one of the Polish gentile families that hid them, which culminates in Chana having the family recognized as Righteous Among the Nations in a moving ceremony in Poland in 2016." |

When Poland is split between Soviet and German occupation, they are first under the Soviet regime. But in 1941, Nazi Germany invades eastern Poland and devastation hits the Jewish community as persecution escalates. In August 1942, when the Jewish community is forced into a ghetto, Rachel has a sense of the impending tragedy. She is determined to escape and tries valiantly to warn others and encourage their escape as well. On the night the ghetto is to be liquidated and the Jewish community deported to the Treblinka death camp, Rachel, Avrumeh, their four-year-old daughter, Chana, and a few family members defy the Nazis and escape the ghetto. The memoir follows their trials and tribulations from October 1942 to liberation in July 1944 as as they survive the Holocaust by searching for hiding places, negotiating with Polish gentiles, and dealing with harrowing events while hiding in small villages near their hometown. A few families provide shelter, but friends turn them away. Where Rachel's memoir ends, at liberation, Chana's memoir begins. She writes of their postwar lives, their immigration to Canada in 1948, and their relationship with one of the Polish gentile families that hid them, which culminates in Chana having the family recognized as Righteous Among the Nations in a moving ceremony in Poland in 2016."</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Geschichte 1942-1944</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Jüdin</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4286934-1</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Judenverfolgung</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4028814-6</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Polen</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4046496-9</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Lisogurski, Rachel / 1911-</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Broder, Chana / 1938-</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) / Poland / Siemiatycze / Personal narratives</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Jews / Poland / Siemiatycze / Biography</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Holocaust survivors / Poland / Siemiatycze / Biography</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Holocaust survivors / Canada / Biography</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Holocaust survivors</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Jews</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Canada</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Poland / Siemiatycze</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">1939-1945</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Autobiographies</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Biographies</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Personal narratives</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Autobiographies</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4133254-4</subfield><subfield code="a">Erlebnisbericht</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd-content</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="655" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4003939-0</subfield><subfield code="a">Autobiografie</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd-content</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Polen</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4046496-9</subfield><subfield code="D">g</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Jüdin</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4286934-1</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Judenverfolgung</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4028814-6</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="3"><subfield code="a">Geschichte 1942-1944</subfield><subfield code="A">z</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="700" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Broder, Chana</subfield><subfield code="d">1938-</subfield><subfield code="e">Verfasser</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)1228575568</subfield><subfield code="4">aut</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="710" ind1="2" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">The Azrieli Foundation</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)1126585653</subfield><subfield code="4">isb</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">Digitalisierung BSB München -

When Poland is split between Soviet and German occupation, they are first under the Soviet regime. But in 1941, Nazi Germany invades eastern Poland and devastation hits the Jewish community as persecution escalates. In August 1942, when the Jewish community is forced into a ghetto, Rachel has a sense of the impending tragedy. She is determined to escape and tries valiantly to warn others and encourage their escape as well. On the night the ghetto is to be liquidated and the Jewish community deported to the Treblinka death camp, Rachel, Avrumeh, their four-year-old daughter, Chana, and a few family members defy the Nazis and escape the ghetto. The memoir follows their trials and tribulations from October 1942 to liberation in July 1944 as as they survive the Holocaust by searching for hiding places, negotiating with Polish gentiles, and dealing with harrowing events while hiding in small villages near their hometown. A few families provide shelter, but friends turn them away. Where Rachel's memoir ends, at liberation, Chana's memoir begins. She writes of their postwar lives, their immigration to Canada in 1948, and their relationship with one of the Polish gentile families that hid them, which culminates in Chana having the family recognized as Righteous Among the Nations in a moving ceremony in Poland in 2016."
