Anka's Secret: An epic, heartbreaking, and powerful World War 2 novel based on true events

Anka meets Abrasha, who was her counselor in the youth movement in Vilnius a few years earlier. Abrasha was also her first love, and when he left for Israel to join the Kibbutz and become a Zionist-he broke her heart. When the war breaks in Europe, Anka is forced to remain in Israel, where she needs to find a place to live and learn to survive. After losing contact with Zalman and her family, she hears about the atrocities committed by the Nazis against the Jews in Europe, and has no idea whether her family and fiancé are alive or dead. Abrasha falls in love with Anka-but she remains loyal to Zalman. Despite his heartbreak, Abrasha remains a good friend and supporter. A few months later, after losing hope of ever seeing Zalman or her family again, she warms up to her kind friend Abrasha, marries him, and starts a new life. After their deaths, many years later, their daughter must vacate their home for sale. In her mother's closet, she discovers hidden letters that reveal a shocking truth about Anka.
