The Champions of my Childhood - Naomi Goldrei

In the early autumn of 1943, three year old Naomi and her grandmother were evicted from their home in Sosnowiec in Western Poland and incarcerated in the nearby ghetto in Srodula.

Within hours, one of the champions of her childhood appeared - her beloved Niania, her mother's old nanny - who claimed the child as her own and spirited her away to a farm belonging to an acquaintance of Naomi's uncle Lutek.

She and her family willingly became Naomi's next champions, fully knowing how dangerous it was to harbour a Jewish child. The stalwart child and her loving champions deserve to be remembered by posterity, and so they will be, as a result of this beautifully written, memorable book.
