Books by Janina David

Bitter-sweet stories about cosmopolitan, self-confident women in an era just before the birth of feminism, conventional in their expectations of men, their pasts behind them but still looking for their anchor in the present, always just a step away from displacement and alienation.

The true, devastating story of a Jewish child's survival in wartime Poland, while the rest of her family were killed by the Nazis. Like The Diary of Anne Frank, but by a survivor who, instead of her own death, has to come to terms with the death of her parents and her own survival Made into a massively successful film in Germany, where the author played a crucial role in excavating the legacy of the Holocaust by lecturing on her life.
