During World War II, Alex, an eleven-year-old Jewish boy, is left alone in the Warsaw Ghetto: his mother has disappeared and his father is sent to an unknown destination. Sheltering in an abandoned building, he survives the winter among the ruins while waiting for his father to keep his promise to return.

For young readers who want to approach World War II and stories of survival in the Warsaw Ghetto.
