The extraordinary life of Dr. Josephine Janina Mehlberg, a Jewish mathematician who saved over 10,000 lives during the Nazi occupation of Poland by posing as a Polish aristocrat.

Working near the Majdanek concentration camp, Dr. Mehlberg risked everything, from delivering aid to supporting the resistance and even securing camp’s prisoner releases.

The book came together as a collaboration between Elizabeth B. White and Joanna Sliwa, renowned historians and Holocaust experts. It draws on extensive research, as well as Mehlberg’s unpublished memoir. The story also holds a UK connection, as the Mehlbergs’ niece and a distant relative of Janina’s both reside in London.

This unforgettable account of courage and resilience stands alongside Schindler’s List and The Light of Days as a testament to humanity in the darkest times.
