Rate Of Books Escape from Warsaw

I bought The Silver Sword on my dad's recommendation, after he mentioned he'd read it many years ago in Secondary school. It made a lasting impression on him, and is a book he'll remember reading for the rest of his life.To a child, this book and its story would be both horrifying and fascinating. It's a simple, short look at a family ravaged by war, and the lengths they'll go to to be reunited. It was first published in 1956, and because of this, it's very different to contemporary fiction. It

I never read this book as a child. It's a great story, a mix of adventure, history, the rudeness and the amazing serendipity of life and the beautiful people you meet along the way. The portrayal of the family bond was comforting.

This was a great book. I love learning as much as I can about war and the hardships people went through during war. Joseph Baliki has three kids Ruth, Edek and Bronia. They have a swish mother but live in Poland. Joseph is a school master before the war but is taken away from his school and family. A few days later the Nazi's come back for Mrs. Baliki. The children have to escape before the Nazi's come back for them. I wish there was a movie to go along with the book. It could be a nice movie if

I really liked this tale which is surprising since not everyone reds these kind o books these days. It has a gripping tale and characters that shine in their own ways. It features hardships, courage and determination in the souls of children as their desperate longing for their parents and their solo willpower help them journey to Switzerland. I recommend this very much.

The Silver Sword is the story of the Balicki family, Joseph and his Swiss wife Margrit and his daughter Ruth, 13, and Bronia, 3, and son, Edek, 11. In 1940, they are living in a Warsaw suburb in Poland during the Nazi occupation of that country, where Joseph is the headmaster in a primary school. One day while teaching, Joseph turns a picture of Hitler so it faced the wall. His action is reported to the Nazi authorities by a student. Joseph is arrested and sent to a prison camp in Zakyna. He

I have a very soft spot for this book. I read it when I was around 11 and remember gradually realising that it was a book about Polish children. I was born in the UK but my parents were both Polish and with a strong cultural identity, and they had both lived through WWII. Reading this book was great: I was at an age where I just wanted to be assimilated into English culture and here was an excellent English book about a Polish experience. It allowed me to validate my Polish heritage as it

In this heartwarming mid 20th century classic, which I loved as a child, four brave Polish kids escape the horrors of the Nazi regime and embark on a perilous journey through war-torn Europe, finally to reach a Western country and be put in cages like the vermin they are.
