The extraordinary and haunting memoir of the "girl in the red coat" - the terrified child from the Krakow ghetto who made an unforgettable appearance in the film 'Schindler's List'.

Roma was one of a minority of "hidden children" to survive the Holocaust. After the extreme conditions of the war, her new life was exciting, if unusual.

Living through Stalinist rule, finding her place in the bohemian Krakow art scene with her cousin Roman Polanski, travelling in Europe, becoming a wife and mother - Roma achieved great success in all that came her way. But memories of childhood trauma are deep-seated and despite her successful life, the resonating effects of her past gradually took their toll.

Now, after 50 years Roma has finally been able to lay to rest the traumatic events of her past. Revisiting the misery of her early years, this powerful and moving memoir examines the encroaching effects on her life, as she writes honestly about rising above the sorrow, while still acknowledging the past.

Roma Ligocka has worked in theatre, opera, film and television, for which she as received many prizes. Now a painter, she lives in Munich and her work has been shown across the world in Munich, Warsaw, Zurich and New York.
