Oxford: David Fickling Books. 211 pp. Hardback small, dustjacket, map, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear jacket, pages faintly toned. One day, a 10-year-old boy named Enaiatollah wakes up to find his mother gone. He is on the border of Pakistan, and he is alone. In this amazing true story, the author describes Enaiatollah's five-year journey from Afghanistan to Italy. His ordeal takes him through Pakistan, Iran, Turkey and Greece, enduring unimaginable hardships and challenges. The book is based on a true story, but because Enaiatollah did not remember it all, the author and Enaiatollah reconstructed his journey to recreate a chronology for his fragmented memories. Thus a work of fiction, though based on Enaiatollah's experience. (Translated from the Italian.). ISBN/ASIN: 9780857560087. Our Book No: 29052. $15 AUD.

Using Fake ID, passing as Aryan, 'Marga' travelled around the country delivering newsletters, sharing information, keeping up morale. In July 1944 her luck ran out. Selma was taken to Ravensbruck, the women's concentration camp, as a political prisoner. Her parents and sister died at other camps - she survived by using her alias. No one knew she was Jewish. After the war ended she could say her real name. Now 98 years old, Selma remains a force of nature, and this very special memoir brings to life her incredible unforgettable experience. Translated.
