Description: Michalina: Daughter of Israel by Rachel Sarna Araten ENGLISH VG CONDITION, HARDCOVER A YOUNG JEWISH GIRL is kidnapped bythe Catholic Church, cruelly separated from her family and forcefully shorn of herJewish identity. A story from the Middle Ages? Not at all. True and documented, ithappened at the beginning of the twentiethcentury in Cracow, Poland.On Shabbath Chanuka, in 1899, athirteen-and-a-half-year-old girl went for awalk with her family?s newly hired Catholicmaid and never returned. Taken by themaid to see a ?most beautiful place,? shewas brought to a Felician convent and forcibly held captive there. Michalina, firstborn child in a well-to-do, loving Chassidic family, was one ofseven children. Her father, the scholarlyReb Yisrael, doggedly traced his daughteras she was sent from convent to convent.Thwarted at every turn by the Church andthe Polish civil authorities, he nonethelesscontinued his long and futile efforts to gether back.Many years later, as an old woman,Michalina had no memories of those earlydays. Her mind had simply gone blank.The shock, the unending pressures, theconstant indoctrination, had all left her in astate of utter trauma. Her earliest memories were of a convent in Ypres, Belgium,probably sometime after her baptism. Toldshe was an orphan, her name was changedand she never again answered to the name Michalina. At seventeen, she was marriedto an engineer and lived the life of a pious,Polish aristocrat.
