Janet - Allow me to share with fellow Undergrounders the engrossing blurb for your book Little Edna's War: The gripping WWII page-turner. A true story of resistance and hope -At just seven years old, Edna Szurek risked everything to smuggle food through holes in the Warsaw Ghetto wall, knowing each step could be her last. By the age of 10, she was the youngest decorated member of the Polish resistance. And by the end of the war, she had defied every Nazi plan for her destruction.
Though she fought armed with a pistol, Edna's true weapons were wit, bravery, and an unshakable love for her sister. Disguised as a Catholic girl, she even earned a medal from Pope Pius XII, who never knew he was honoring a Jewish child who had outsmarted the Reich.
Drawn from over five hours of her firsthand testimony recorded by the USC Shoah Foundation, this powerful memoir traces Edna's impossible from the ashes of a shattered birthday celebration to the brutal reality of a POW camp, escaping the deadly confines of the Warsaw Ghetto to find the hidden safety of a convent sanctuary.
Edna Szurek should not have survived the Holocaust. But she did. And her story will stay with you forever.

Janet - Your post is a very worthy addition to this group's "Debunking Holocaust Deniers" discussion thread. I wish you well with the book and hope everyone reads it.
The book tells the true story of my mother-in-law, born at Mila 18 in Warsaw — the youngest decorated soldier in the Polish Home Army. Smuggler at 7. Armed fighter at 9. Decorated at 10. Pope Pius XII blessed her as a Catholic war hero, never knowing she was Jewish.
Foreword by Dr. Michael Berenbaum, former Project Director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum.
