It is 1935 and she is  living in the East Polish town of Buczacz. Although brought up in an  atmosphere of anti-Semitism, nothing could have prepared her for  the Russian invasion of Poland and the full horror of the Nazi  Occupation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt thirteen, while fleeing the Nazis through war-ravaged  Poland, Alicia began saving the lives of strangers. Her family  cruelly wrenched from her, Alicia rescued other Jews from the Gestapo,  led them to safe hideouts, and lent them her courage and hope. Even the  sight of her mother''s brutal murder could not quash this remarkable  child''s faith in human goodness - or her determination to prevail against  overwhelming odds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the war, Alicia continued to risk her  life, leading Polish Jews on an underground route to freedom in  Palestine. She swore on her brother''s grave that if she survived, she  would speak for her silenced family. This book is the eloquent  fulfilment of that oath.\u003cbr\u003e__________\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat readers are saying about \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlicia\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e***** ''I just kept turning the pages to the end.''\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e***** ''So much bravery...
