Wartime Lies
Author(s): Louis Begley
In Poland, in 1939, the secure world of assimilated Jews is blown away by the invasion of the Third Reich. Maciek's father disappears into the war's vortex, leaving the orphaned child with his Aunt Tania. It is her cool inventiveness, in their dramatic flight through a landscape of oppression, that ensures their fragile survival.
