Young girl Elli Rostow, originally from the higher strata of the Polish Jewish bourgeoisie, after the arrival of the German occupiers in the country finds himself with his loved ones in the middle of unbearable poverty and the despair of the Warsaw ghetto. Later he gets out and works as a polka with counterfeit documents with a German employer.
When revealing characters and the plot of the plots, the author is based on her own life experience in Poland during World War II.
Her work is convincing, because it is true even in the most rickest and at the same time the most absurd situations that the time brought.
