Roma was one of a minority of 'hidden children' to survive the Holocaust. After the extreme conditions of the war, her new life was exciting, if unusual. Living through Stalinist rule, finding her place in the bohemian Krakow art scene with her cousin roman Polanski, travelling in Europe, becoming a wife and mother - Roma achieved great success in all that came her way. But memories of childhood trauma are deep-seated and, despite her successful life, the resonating effects of her past gradually took their toll. Now after 50yrs, Roma has finally been able to lay to rest the traumatic events of her past. Revisiting the misery of her early years, this powerful and moving memoir examines the encroaching effects on her life, as she writes honestly about rising about the sorrow, while still acknowledging the past.
