The War Orphan

In 1945, after emerging from the gates of Auschwitz, sixteen-year-old Tasha Ancel clings to two smaller children, filled with a mix of hope and uncertainty about their future. An orphan torn from her mother just days before liberation, Tasha clutches a lock of her mother's fiery hair as she searches for any trace of her amidst the chaos of post-war Europe. Offered a new life in the Lake District of England, she faces a heartrending decision: to leave behind the past in search of a future or stay in war-torn Poland, holding onto the hope of reuniting with her mother. This poignant World War II tale explores themes of survival, love, and the struggle to rebuild after unimaginable loss.
