Summary:
"The unforgettable true story of a girl born in the Kovno ghetto during World War II -- and what her parents risked so that she could survive. Elida Friedman was not supposed to have been born. In Lithuania during the war, Nazi law forbade Jewish women from giving birth. Yet despite the fear of death, Dr. Jonah Friedman and his wife Tzila, choose to bring a
daughter
into the world, a little girl they name Elida -- meaning 'non-birth' in Hebrew. To increase the girl's chance of survival, the Friedmans smuggle the baby out of the ghetto and into the arms of a non-Jewish farm family when Elida is only three months old. It is the beginning of a life marked by constant upheaval. When the Nazis raze the entire ghetto, Elida is left orphaned and alone, dependent on the kindness of strangers. Despite her circumstances, Elida grows up, changing families, countries, continents, and even names, many times. Surviving the war and the
Holocaust
that stole her parents, the young woman never gives up hope. In her lifelong pursuit to find love and belonging, she works to rebuild her identity and triumph over her terrible circumstances. A moving, powerful chronicle of overcoming impossible odds, 'The
Forbidden
Daughter
' is the true story of one unforgettable woman and her will to survive."--Back cover.
