Guess the book name
How she preserved
treasure of books from being lost in war?
Zofia Nowak
will be adult when she would appear in the final exam in her secondary school
but situation seemed somewhat unfavorable in Poland. The looming threat of war
of Nazi Germany forced the residents of Warsaw to stockpile the necessary food
stuff into their homes.
Unlike
Zofia's father, who associated with medicine profession, she interested to
pursue her career in literature, therefore always kept a new book to read in
her satchel, and the latest one to read was The
Story of My Life, by Helen Keller. It was the year august 1939 when Zofia
was sitting with her childhood friend Janina at Łazienki Park where Girl Guides
were practicing their first aid skills to cope with any eventuality in case of
war.
Next day,
the loud explosion woke up Zofia from sleep at home, she along with other
family members rushed towards the safe place. They couldn't believe that the
Germans had attacked Warsaw, the sound of air raid sirens heard, the panic
loomed and they stayed to live inside the basement to save their lives.
Amid the
fear, there was a good news in distress when it was aired on Warsaw One radio
that France and England agreed to join their hands to fight against Nazi's
forces.
Later it was
heard and seen that Hitler troops were gaining momentum, invading inside Warsaw
and causing destruction. Antek who was brother of Zofia, it was learnt through
a note left for his family informing that he gone frontline to fight
voluntarily against the invading Germans who had bombarded the civilian
population which also included Jewish communities but Janina survived that
attack and reunited with Zofia.
Amid a ruble
of destruction Zofia reached inside the unknown place where many residents were
hiding in later she found out that it was library and so far couldn't be traced
by adversaries. The untidy situation of scattered books got Zofia's attention
so she teamed up with Janina, and her likeminded groups to salvage books from
lost.
The loving
trend towards reading books led Zofia taking daring and risky measures amid the
dangers emanating from the Nazi's German troops who resisted the spread of
adverse literature against Hitler's vision and ideology.
