Gucia Gomolinska grew up comfortably in Piotrkow, Poland. However, even before World War II, she faced discrimination as a Jew--but with her blond hair she was often able to pass as just another Pole. When her town was invaded by Nazis, she knew her coloring gave her an advantage, and she faced an awful choice: stay in the place she calls home, or leave everything behind and try to survive. So she changed her name to Barbara (Basia) Tanska and, was able to assume a new life as a Polish Gentile, traveling to Germany, where she found work as a chambermaid, hiding from the authorities in plain sight. The fascinating story told in first-person, present-tense voice continues to Basia’s marriage and emigration to the U.S. after the war. A moving account that reads more like historical fiction than fact.
