Franciszka and her daughter, Helena, are simple, ordinary people...until 1939, when the Nazis invade their homeland. Providing shelter to Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland is a death sentence, but Franciszka and Helena do exactly that. In their tiny home in Sokal, they hide a Jewish family in a loft above their pigsty, a Jewish doctor with his wife and son in a makeshift cellar under the kitchen, and a defecting German soldier in the attic—each party completely unknown to the others. For everyone to survive, Franciszka will have to outsmart her neighbors and the German commander.
Told simply and succinctly from four different perspectives—all under one roof—My Mother’s Secret is a testament to the kindness, courage, and generosity of ordinary people who chose to be extraordinary.
Inspirada en una historia real, El secreto de mi madre es un homenaje a la bondad, el coraje y la generosidad de la gente común. Un relato conmovedor en el que se cruzan las vidas de dos familias judías y un desertor alemán con las de una madre y su hija, dispuestas a todo para salvarlos.
Franciszka y su hija Helena llevan una vida corriente hasta 1939, cuando las tropas hitlerianas invaden su país. Proteger a judíos en la Polonia ocupada es una sentencia de muerte, pero Franciszka decide arriesgarlo todo para esconder a Vilheim, uno de los guardias personales del comandante, y a dos grupos de judíos en su pequeño hogar de Sokal. Para que todos logren sobrevivir, ella y su hija deberán ser más astutas que sus vecinos y que el temible comandante alemán...
La crítica ha dicho...
«La belleza de El secreto de mi madre está en la sencillez de su lenguaje y en la sutileza de su trama.»

Bruce Meyer is sent back in time to prevent the Third World War. He does not know that he will find the love of his life in the past. Can he give her up to save the world?
It Was Always Her is a gripping tale about love, sacrifice, and the impossible choices faced by a man given a second chance. This story will take you on a captivating journey which will leave you asking, “What do I value most in my life?”
“Our lives are spent building castles in the sand. Large or small, grandiose or simple, it is inconsequential—all washed away when the tide comes in. Nothing lasts. Nothing endures. To love and be loved, it is the only thing that is real...the only thing that matters to me now.”
