His father, desperate to settle his business affairs, travels to France, leaving Michael in the care of his mother and Gertruda Bablinska, a Catholic nanny devoted to the family. When Michael's mother has a stroke, Gertruda promises the dying woman that she will make her way to Palestine and raise him as her own son. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten with the invaluable assistance of Michael, now seventy-two and living in New York City, GERTRUDA’S OATH re-creates Michael and Gertruda’s amazing journey. Gripping vignettes bring to life the people who helped ensure their survival, including SS officer Karl Rink, who made it his mission to save Jews after his own Jewish wife was murdered; Rink’s daughter, Helga, who escaped to a kibbutz, where she lived until her recent death; and the Jewish physician Dr. Berman, who aided Michael and Gertruda through the worst of times. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGERTRUDA’S OATH is a story of extraordinary courage and moral strength in the face of horrific events. Like \u003ci\u003eSchindler’s List\u003c\/i\u003e, it transcends history and religion to reveal the compassion and hope that miraculously thrives in a world immersed in war without end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385527194\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.9 x 5.2 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doubleday","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50145522549040,"sku":"Trans_9780385527194","price":900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/911FsHlWbHL.jpg?v=1757937786","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/gertrudas-oath-a-child-a-promise-and-a-heroic-escape-during-world-war-ii","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
