Beschreibungen
A top "must-have" for any reader of Holocaust and World War II survival accounts. This incredible true story is both a witness to the Holocaust through Polish eyes and the story of how Henry Zguda, a Polish Catholic swimmer, survives Nazi concentration camps Auschwitz and Buchenwald. At times humorous, always gut-honest, this account fills a huge gap in historical accounts of Poles during World War II. Winner of 2018 Arizona Authors Association Literary Contest - First Place for Published Nonfiction, 2018 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award – Silver for Biography, and other recognitions.
Katrina is an experienced writer, accomplished speaker, and lifelong history geek.

Give her a good book, cozy chair, and a glass of Merlot and she sighs contentment. She lives in Phoenix Arizona.
