As an autobiography, there is only one perspective for this tale, and that is the words and thoughts of Alicia Jurman. This horrific story of the fate of Jewish Poles during World War II is captured through the eyes of a young girl who experienced firsthand the systematic murder of each family member, until only she was left.

The tone of Alicia's story is thoroughly mixed, though, overall, it is certainly subjective, as she relates the horrific tale of life under Nazi persecution and systematic destruction of the Jewish population in Poland and Europe as a whole.

Alicia's story is, by necessity, chronological, as it is an autobiography of a Jewish child who survives the Nazi occupation of Poland and the German policy to rid Europe of all Jews. Alicia's life during this time is divided into five sections.
