In the shadow of the Holocaust, Mala Szorer is the sole survivor of her entire family. But she is not alone. With the loyal companionship of her cat, Malach, Hebrew for ‘angel’, Mala survives on her own in the woods, narrowly avoiding death by her quick thinking and pure luck. Mala travels from Poland to Germany with nothing but the clothes on her back, a determined will to survive, and her feline companion at her heels. This incredible memoir shines a light on one of history’s darkest hours, promising to hold the world accountable, and to make sure that we never forget what we are capable of. Both inspiring and heartbreaking, Mala’s Cat will linger in your heart.
