In the early 1940s the Cracow ghetto was being systematically reduced by the Nazis, in one so-called ' re-settlement' action after another.
Janina Martinho , an inmate. was a child of 12 when the final resettlement day arrived. In the ghetto with her were the Kalfus family: father, mother, and Irene, aged 8. The parents made a brave plan to save the life of their child.
Janina herself miraculously escaped the final liquidation, but it is not her own story which she has written.

A charity is no less charitable because it benefits the rich as well as the poor
It's more important who does the giving than what it's lor
Cathedrals, public schools. orchestras, youth clubs, and many other charities within the meaning of the Act need more and more money to finance new projects or simply to keep going.
Securing donations from wellwishers has given rise to a small but highly skilled profession with its own techniques and vocabulary.
This programme offers an impression of the system as seen through the eyes of the client. the fundraiser, and the benefactor.
