Celia had an admirer - Mr. Stein, a very rich Jew. Her sister wanted to convince her to leave Mark for him. They could lead a wealthy life with him, leave the ghetto. But Celia didn't want to hear about it. She didn't leave her husband before the war, when he was healthy and strong, so she won't leave him now when he is ill and his life is almost over.

At the age of nine Janina David was leading a sheltered life with her prosperous Jewish family in Poland. One year later they were all facing starvation in the Warsaw ghetto.
In the memoirs of wartime childhood Janina David describes the family's struggle against insurmountable odds. When it becomes clear that none of them was likely to survive, the thirteen-year old girl was smuggled out of the ghetto to live with family friends - a Polish woman and her German - born husband. When their home becomes too dangerous, she was sent with false identity papers to a Catholic convent, where she lived in constant fear of being discovered.
