Cigarette Sellers of Three Crosses Square - Joseph Ziemian - Paperback

The astonishing, true story of a group of Jewish children who managed to escape from the Warsaw ghetto in 1942 and survive in the Aryan section of the Nazi-occupied city. Sentenced to death, hounded at every step, they kept themselves alive by peddling cigarettes in Warsaws Three Crosses Square - where the author, a member of the Jewish Underground in Poland, met and helped them and recorded their story. Several of the children were finally caught and killed, but most survived and are alive today. The story of the cigarette sellers has been published in Polish, Romanian, Hebrew and Yiddish, and a dramatised version has been broadcast in Israel. The book was awarded a literary prize by the World Jewish Congress in New York.Ziemian, Joseph is the author of 'Cigarette Sellers of Three Crosses Square - Joseph Ziemian - Paperback' with ISBN 9780380009671 and ISBN 0380009676.
