Publisher Description "No matter how many Holocaust stories one has read, this one is a must, for its impact is so powerful."--School Library Journal, starredI did not ask myself, "Should I do this?" but "How will I do this?"Through this intimate and compelling memoir, we are witness to the growth of a hero. Much like The Diary of Anne Frank, In My Hands has become a profound testament to individual courage.You must understand that I did not become a resistance fighter, a smuggler of Jews, a defierof the SS and the Nazis, all at once.When the war began, Irene Gut was just seventeen: a student nurse, a Polish patriot, a good Catholic girl. Forced to work in a German officiers dining hall, she learns how to fight back.Ones first steps are always small: I had begun by hiding food under a fence.Irene eavesdropped on the Germans plans. She smuggled people out of the work camp. And she hid twelve Jews in the basement of a Nazi majors home. To deliver her friends from evil, this young woman did whatever it took--even the impossible.
