Description

Hardcover in publisher’s non price-clipped dust-jacket. 257 pages. Introduction by Abba Eban. Translated from the Hebrew by Marta Cohn. Second printing. The diary of a young Hungarian Jewish woman who, after having resettled in Palestine before the war, volunteered to reenter Nazi Europe at the behest of the British. Dropped into Yugoslavia, it was crossing of the Hungarian border to warn the Jewish population there of their inevitable fate that led to her capture and eventual execution. Includes a selection of her poems, a memoir by her mother and accounts by parachutists who accompanied her on her final mission. A clean, tight, unmarked copy. Very good in a good dust-jacket.
