Sonia Landau was born in 1914. During the German occupation in 1941 she was displaced together with her family to the Warsaw Ghetto where she endured two tormented years. She eventually escaped the Ghetto and became active in the Resistance movement, later assuming the name Krystyna Zywulska. In 1943 she was arrested and sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Zywulska wrote Empty Water twenty years after completing her first memoir I Survived Auschwitz. Aware that people still did not understand much of what had taken place in the Ghetto and Resistance, she decided to voice her experience once again, revealing the crime, contempt and shame she encountered. She penned one of the most distinctly balanced accounts of the time—describing good and bad, purity and depravity in Germans, Poles and Jews. She also demonstrated how, under horrible conditions, the definition of good and bad becomes relative.
Each day, trying to maintain the pretence of normality despite inhuman conditions, Sonia's mother put a pot on the stove, although she had no food to cook. She boiled just plain water and served it to her family, enough to cheat their hunger and repel and deceive the ubiquitous fear. Zywulska's experiences during those two years in the Ghetto can enlighten us all.
Her account tells of her daring escape from the Ghetto and participation in the Polish Resistance. Empty Water takes place during the horror of Hitler's crematoria but provides layers of nuances that make it difficult to fall into the trap of easy judgments of good and evil.
Zywulska emerges from her experiences convinced that human life is the greatest treasure of all. This book is testament to her belief.
Empty Water eBook Krystyna Zywulska Lech Czerski Sheila Callahan
We don't have a lot of eyewitness accounts to the Warsaw ghetto that I know of.. This is an incredible book about hell in the ghetto. You get a look of what it was like in the holding pen of the SS.. Almost as bad as the camps themselves. People lying on the streets covered with newspapers because they can't dispose of them fast enough.Beggars begging for just a crumb of bread..the deportations, the actions..people trying to hide knowing sooner or later they will be found..threatened to be shot if they don't help in their own extermination.
This book isn't dry history, it's so well written you feel like you are right there with her. She has such a way of capturing every little detail and feeling. I love how we hear a lot of the thoughts she had during that time. How,she argues with herself in her mind about different things.. I highly recommend this book..give it a read!

Empty Water eBook Krystyna Zywulska Lech Czerski Sheila Callahan Reviews
This is an incredible book. I have no other words. I read it in one breath, I could not put it down. My husband made popcorn for lunch, I could not stop reading. It is written almost 20 years after the first book (I survived Auschwitz) and her writing skills have grown significantly. I was mostly interested in the historical facts following her previous book but her literary style also captivated me and I can say it is one of the best written books I have read about the Hollocaust.
