For many years the brown leather suitcase lay under the house, hidden from the family and full of secrets. When it was finally opened it proved to be filled with letters and documents all in Polish.
Once translated the Siegel family finally knew the fate of their Polish relatives. This is a story of love, loyalty and heroism; of those who died, the ones who tried to save them and the one man who could have made a difference. Writing this book has been a long and difficult journey. I feel privileged that, of all the millions of anonymous victims of Hitler, I have been able to get to know and cherish this one family. By remembering them I can honour all those who will forever remain anonymous. Available: www.amazon.com (Now also available on Kindle) or through this website.

This is the story of one family and what happened to them during the World War II. The invasion of Poland by Germany in September 1939 is the brutal background to their ordeals. Each of the Bender siblings made a decision based on love; Marysia for her son, Peter (Piotr), Josef for his fiancee, Rachel, and Adam, the pediatrician, for love of children in his care. Each one faced a different destiny and only one survived. And there is an unusual hero. Chiune Sugihara was a Japanese diplomat who rescued thousands of Polish refugees. He demonstrated love of humanity and is the essence of what Edmund Burke said: "Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little." Sugihara could not save everyone, but he could save some. This is a story of immense bravery and sacrifice, of love and loss, of humanity at its worst and at its best. A story that is a dedication to all those who love deeply enough to pay the ultimate cost. Available now from www.amazon.com in paperback or e-book. Also available direct from the author via this website. |
