Dry Tears cover

This is the true story of Nechama Tec, whose family found refuge with Polish Christians during the Holocaust. Dry Tears is a dramatic tale of how an eleven-year-old child learned to "pass in the forbidding Christian world and a quietly moving coming-of-age story. This book is unique celebration of the best human qualities that surface under the worst conditions.

This essentially optimistic view was nuanced with a perhaps surprisingly wry wit. * Benjamin Ivry, Forward Newspaper *
