MY
STORY
Not

Anne
Frank:
The
Diary
of
a
Young
has
a
young
voice
so
vividly
and
poignantly
expressed
the
capacity
in
Girl
for
the
face
of
Nazi
brutality.
Alicia
humanity
and
heroism
Jurman
speaks
directly
to
a
young,
new
generation
of
listeners—
to
the
who
must
learn,
and
to
their
elders,
who
must
be
reminded.
There
have
been
many
accounts
of
survival
during the
Holocaust,
but
very
few
of
a
woman's
active
heroism—
even
fewer
of
a
young
girl's.
Alicia
Jurman
was
thirteen
years
old
when
she
began
saving
the
lives
of
people
she
did
not
know.
Alicia,
her
mother
and
her
only
were
separated
by
the
Nazis,
they
vowed
to
meet
again
in
their
Polish
hometown.
While
Alicia
fled
from
the
Nazis
through
the
forests
and
wheat
fields
of
Poland
toward
her
home,
she
rescued
other
Jews
from
the
grips of
the
Gestapo,
In
1945,
when

brother

them
to
safe
hideouts
and
offering
them
her
scraps
of
food,
her
courage
and
her
hope.
Even
after
she witnessed
her
mother's
brutal
murder,
Alicia
managed
to
sustain
her
faith
in
human
in
goodness,
drawing
on
the
humane
gestures
of
those
she
encountered-the
gift
of
a
worn
coat
the
winter,
a
loaf
of
bread,
the
bravery
of
an
old
man
who
dared
to
hide
Alicia
and
others
she
could
not
leave
behind.
At
the
end
of
the
war
Alicia
went
on
to
risk
her
life
once
again.
At
fifteen,
