The Girl in the Green Sweater

In 1943, with Lvov's 150,000 Jews having been forced into ghettos and facing extermination, Krystyna Chiger's family daringly sought refuge in the city's sewer system. "The Girl in the Green Sweater" is Chiger's harrowing first-person account of fourteen months in the fetid, underground sewers of Lvov. "The Girl in the Green Sweater" is also the story of Leopold Socha, the group's unlikely savious. A polish Catholic and former thief, Socha risked his life to help Chiger's underground family survive, bringing them food, medicine, and supplies. A moving memoir of a desperate escape and life under unimaginable circumstances, "The Girl in the Green Sweater" is ultimately a tale of intimate survival, friendship, and redemption.
