From a little-known chapter of Holocaust h istory\, Rebecca Frankel's Into the Forest is one family&rsquo\;s inspiring true story of love\, escape\, and survival.
\nIn the summ er of 1942\, the Rabinowitz family narrowly escaped the Nazi ghetto in the ir Polish town by fleeing to the forbidding Bialowieza Forest. They miracu lously survived two years in the woods&mdash\;through brutal winters\, Typ hus outbreaks\, and merciless Nazi raids&mdash\;until they were liberated by the Red Army in 1944. After the war they trekked across the Alps into I taly where they settled as refugees before eventually immigrating to the U nited States. During the first ghetto massacre\, Miriam Rabinowitz rescued a young boy named Philip by pretending he was her son. Nearly a decade la ter\, a chance encounter at a wedding in Brooklyn would lead Philip to fin d the woman who saved him. And to discover her daughter Ruth was the love of his life.
