Girl in the red coat

The best-selling memoir of survival and self-discovery by the woman whose childhood as the real-life little girl in the red coat was so famously depicted in the movie Schindler's List. Roma Ligocka has lived muliple lives over the past 50 years - artist, theatrical designer, bohemian nomad, political activist, wife and mother - but she was first a girl from the Krakow ghetto. This memoir revisits the horror of her early years and its effects throughout her life.
