jump for life: a survivor's journal from Nazi-occupied Poland

Ruth Altbeker Cyprys was a young Jewish lawyer in Warsaw when the Germans invaded Poland. She obtained a pair of boots and a hack-saw blade which she used to cut through the bars on the train heading to Treblinka. She jumped out and her infant child was thrown out after her into the snow. This journal was written immediately after the war, then hidden away unread for nearly fifty years.
