Title: A Polish Doctor in the Nazi Camps
Description: Jadwiga Lenartowicz Rylko, known as Jadzia, was a young Polish Catholic physician in Lodz at the start of World War II. Suspected of resistance activities, she was arrested in January 1944. For the next fifteen months, she endured three Nazi concentration camps and a forty-two-day death march, spending part of this time working as a prisoner-doctor to Jewish slave laborers. This book follows Jadzia from her childhood and medical training, through her wartime experiences, to her struggles to create a new life in the postwar world.--From book jacket.
