Memoirs of a resistance member from Grodno, born in 1923. Describes the German occupation of Grodno in June 1941 and life in the ghetto. Klibanski, a member of the Dror youth movement, was recruited by Mordechai Tenenbaum (with whom she fell in love) to work for the underground movement in the Bialystok ghetto, posing as a non-Jew living on the "Aryan side." After the first "Aktion" in February 1943 Dror members decided they would try to escape and join partisan groups, but those who remained behind would fight the Nazis. Klibanski concentrated on acquiring arms for resistance, which took place during the last roundup in August 1943. Tenenbaum died resisting the Nazis; Klibanski worked for partisan groups until the liberation in 1944. Pp. 144-165 contain letters written by Klibanski during and after the liquidation of the ghetto; pp. 166-203 contain letters written by Tenenbaum between March-August 1943.
