For Miri and her family, life in Warsaw is full of simple joys. The smell of freshly baked challah, the pink flowers that bloom in their courtyard, the promise of summer holidays, and Fridays when everyone comes together to celebrate Shabbat.

Miri's world closes in on her, as she and her family are forced into the ghetto, where they must try to survive, against impossible odds.
