The Fires of Lilliput: A Holocaust story of courage, resistance, and love

AFTER REVIEWING HIS LIFE for nearly thirty years, the Vatican wants to declare Polish farmer and stigmatic Jakub Chelzak a Roman Catholic saint. His miraculous healings and Crucifixion wounds brought true believers-and die-hard skeptics-from across Europe during its darkest hour.



But before the Pope can canonize Jakub, Vatican officials must hear from the most important eyewitness of all: Shosha Mordechai, then a young Warsaw resident, who disappeared with her family after she and Jakub helped each other live through the most ungodly hell in human history: the Nazi siege of Poland and the Soviet invasion that followed.



No friend of the Jewish people during this time of their greatest need, the Vatican hierarchy is seeking not only Shosha's testimony, but a major step toward reconciliation with her people. The archbishops and cardinals face an extraordinary situation: a Jewish Holocaust survivor the only living witness to the life of a Christian saint.



The Fires of Lilliput is the story Shosha tells them, of indomitable spirits who survived the throes of war, through courage, suffering, and love.
