28 Days
A Novel of Resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto

by David Safier

Inspired by true events, David Safier's 28 Days: A Novel of Resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto is a harrowing historical novel that chronicles the brutality of the Holocaust.

Warsaw, 1942. Sixteen-year old Mira Mira risks everything smuggling food into the overcrowded ghetto to keep her family alive. As the Nazis prepare to "liquidate" the ghetto, Mira meets a group of young people who are planning the unthinkable: an uprising against the occupying forces. She joins the resistance fighters who, with minimal supplies and weapons, end up holding out for 28 days, longer than anyone had thought

Through Mira’s eyes, the novel vividly captures the brutal realities of life under Nazi oppression, the complex moral choices faced by those trapped inside, and the sparks of hope and love amid despair. This powerful story of courage, loss, and defiance brings to life the extraordinary spirit of the Jewish resistance in one of history’s darkest chapters.
