She’s here, and she’s beautiful! I can’t wait for you to read When the Heart Sings in October. Here’s a little teaser for the book.
The Nazi’s force Natia and Teodor from their farm in Poland to a labor camp where they are separated. When Natia is chosen to be the housekeeper for the camp’s overseer, she is able to go by the factory where Teodor is housed and sing to him in order to pass messages. But the situation grows more dangerous when a Jewish orphan arrives on the doorstep. Natia is determined to raise him, but if her German captor discovers her secret, both she and Teodor may have to pay the ultimate price.

Love the cover! I’m looking forward to reading this story! Just over 3 million weren’t Jewish. Making it just over 50%. Unbelievable! The numbers of senseless deaths during this war is staggering.

Love the cover! I think even more than “The Melody of the Soul” cover! (oops, can I say that?)
It’s about 50% of Polish citizens that were not Jewish. So staggering to read and learn about the evil and then doubly sad to think about what the stats will be once the war in Syria is finally over!

about 32% were non-Jewish–I think it depends on how the statistics are figured
I pray God’s blessings upon your writing.

11 million lives were lost during the Holocaust- and 6 million of them were Polish- so it would be more like 60% lost.
Kathy Fletcher says
half of the polish were not Jewish.
