The young girl Elli Rostow, originally from the upper layers of the Polish Jewish bourgeoisie, finds herself with her closest relatives in the middle of the unbearable misery and hopelessness of the Warsaw ghetto after the arrival of the German occupiers in the country. Later she gets out and works as a Polish woman with forged documents for a German employer.
When revealing the characters of the characters and describing the plots of the plot, the author draws on her own life experiences in Poland during the Second World War.
Her work is convincing because it is true even in the cruelest and at the same time the most absurd situations that the given time brought.
