Mala Kacenberg was a young teenager when she narrowly escaped the Nazi decimation of her small Polish village's Jewish population, including her entire family. For six harrowing years, Mala persevered— first hiding in the forest, then taking on new identities in Poland and eventually Germany—accompanied throughout by her guardian angel, a cat named Malach. Miracles abound in this true story of sorrow and survival…but Mala's courage, faith, quick thinking, and emotional resilience are the most miraculous of all. (CH)
