The Girl Under the Ghetto
(2025)(The third book in the World War II Historical series)
A novel by Steve N Lee
Inspired by a true story.
Poland, 1943.
13-year-old Halina trudges down the sidewalk in the Warsaw ghetto, her stomach swollen from lack of food, feet hurting from being swathed in only rags, her shoes having long-since fallen apart. Rumors say war is coming. Proper war, not this prison-style war. Whispers speak of weapons caches and attack strategies. Of vengeance and justice. But all Halina dreams of is a scrap of bread.
When the ghetto’s persecuted residents rise up, the Nazis retaliate with everything they’ve got, raining down hellfire onto the shattered city. And Halina is caught in the crossfire. She runs for cover. But artillery blasts the building in which she cowers.
Halina had believed the war would one day end, but for her, its nightmare has only just truly begun — she’s buried alive with no one left to rescue her.
The Girl Under the Ghetto is a tale of courage and hope, of the unbelievable strength of the human spirit — of one tiny girl who bravely battles to survive an unimaginable horror.
