A Jewish Holocaust survivor is the only living witness to the life of a man the Vatican is investigating for sainthood. They fought back to stay alive. This is her story.
_____________________________

TWO REMARKABLE SOULS. ONE UNIMAGINABLE JOURNEY.

The Vatican wants to declare Polish farmer Jakub Chelzak a Catholic saint. But before the Pope can canonize Jakub, the Church must hear from the most important eyewitness of all: the young Jewish woman who grew to love him as they fought side by side against the Nazi invaders. With Jakub's help, Shosha Mordechai survived, but disappeared after the war.

Only the third Catholic saint to emerge from the Holocaust, Jakub's canonization is critical to Church officials, whose predecessors turned a blind eye to the Jewish people during the time of their greatest need. The archbishops and cardinals want reconciliation -- and recognition, of individual Catholics who fought and died alongside their Jewish brethren.

The Fires of Lilliput is the story Shosha tells them, of indomitable spirits who emerged from the throes of hell, through courage, suffering, and love.

“I COULD NOT STOP READING. The drama and intensity of the relationship between Shosha and Jakub is remarkable.”
-- Stephen D. Solender
Former President and CEO, Jewish Federations of North America
Past President, North American Council, Museum of the History of Polish Jews

“A TOUR DE FORCE, whose stunning sorties into Jewish, Catholic, German, and other histories light the way like brilliant street lamps.”
Dr. Michael C. Jones
Physician
United States Army

For the cover, Ed Richardson created a striking abstraction of the warring forces that savaged Europe during World War II. An art director for groundbreaking films such as Badlands, Scarface, Cat People, and American Gigolo, Richardson also portrayed a journey across America’s waterways for the cover of William Least Heat-Moon’s bestseller, River-Horse.
