Ruta's Closet

Ruta's Closet is the inspiring true story of how a Lithuanian Jewish family escaped Hitler's Final Solution, thanks to their own resourcefulness and the bravery of a few fearless friends.

Meyer and Gita Kron's determination to survive grew as family and friends perished at the hands of the Nazis and marauding Lithuanian fascist collaborators. After each terrible personal tragedy the Krons became more inventive and daring in their quest to stay alive. Sir Martin Gilbert described this tale of survival against the Nazi brutality of the occupation of Lithuania as "...one of the finest Holocaust memoirs."
