The diary of a young Jewish housewife who, together with her husband and five-month-old baby, fled the Warsaw ghetto at the last possible moment, and survived the Holocaust hidden on the "Aryan" side of town in the loft of a run-down tinsmith's shed.

Rescued from the Ashes documents the incredible life story of Leokadia Schmidt and her small family and their daily struggle to survive the Warsaw Ghetto. Her memoir brings to life the vilest and most righteous qualities that people are capable of as she depicts the horrific living conditions in the ghetto and her family's harrowing escapes from the Nazi furnaces.
