My Mother's Secret: A Novel Based on a True Holocaust Story

My Mother’s Secret is a captivating tale of courage, kindness, and sacrifice set during World War II.

This international bestselling novel tells the story of Franciszka Halamajowa, an ordinary woman who risked everything to save the lives of Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland.

With unwavering determination and selflessness, Franciszka hid a Jewish family in her home, a Jewish doctor and his wife and son in a makeshift cellar, and a defecting German soldier in the attic—all without the knowledge of her neighbors or the German commander.

Through four different perspectives, this book sheds light on the extraordinary acts of ordinary people during one of history’s darkest periods.

With its simple yet powerful storytelling, My Mother’s Secret is a testament to the human spirit and a reminder that even in the face of unimaginable evil, there are those who choose to be extraordinary.
