Description: "The Polish woman, set in New York and in Poland, is the story of a search for the identity of on atractive young woman who appears to be a possible survivor of the Holocaust--or perhaps in cunning scam artist. When 29-year-old Karolina Staszek appears in the office of a New York Jewish lawyer, Philip Landau, in 1967, her hair wet from the cold December rain, she seems so helpless and sincere. Yet Philip does not believe her strange story--that she is the long-lost child that his Uncle Jake had paid a Catholic family to hide on its farm near Lublin, Poland, during the World War II Nazi occupation"--Inside cover.
