The Forbidden Daughter The True Story of a Holocaust Survivor

A powerful and heart-wrenching true story of survival and hope set during the Holocaust. In the Kovno Ghetto of Lithuania, newlyweds Elida and Shmuel face a life-threatening dilemma when Elida becomes pregnant. Under Nazi rule, pregnancy is strictly forbidden and punishable by death. To save their child, the couple makes the agonizing decision to smuggle their newborn daughter, Zipora, out of the ghetto to be raised by a righteous Christian family. While Elida and Shmuel endure the horrors of the Stutthof and Dachau concentration camps, their daughter remains in hiding, unaware of her true identity. This memoir chronicles the family's incredible resilience, the courage of those who risked everything to protect an innocent life, and the emotional journey of a daughter discovering her past and reuniting with the parents who refused to give up hope.
