Meet the author: Rachel Spigelman

As a young Jewish boy in Poland during the Second World War, Mark Spigelman narrowly escaped capture by the Nazis by posing as a little German girl and hiding alone in a neighbour’s attic.

As the danger grew, Mark and his parents found refuge in a garbage drum and then a farmhouse next door to a notorious concentration camp. Many decades on, it is finally time for Mark to share his remarkable story with his beloved granddaughters.

This event will launch Rachel Spigelman’s book about Mark’s life, titled Blue Eyes Wide Open. This book is written as a book for young readers to introduce them to the Holocaust.
