Overview

On the run in Nazi-occupied Poland, thirteen-year-old orphan Marian Finkelman--later Domanski--must fend for himself in a desperate search for safety. Forced to grow up much too early, the daring young boy risks his life over and over again to slip in and out of the ghetto in his hometown of Otwock to find food. When he finally escapes the ghetto, alone and living by his wits, Marian's perfect Polish and fair complexion help him narrowly escape death as he travels through the Polish countryside passing as a Polish-Catholic farmhand. A heart-rending tale of lost youth, Fleeing from the Hunter poignantly describes the quick thinking and extraordinary will to live that are Marian Domanski's greatest strengths as he manages to survive against all odds.
