The powerful narrative of a man about his mother's extraordinary escape from Auschwitz and what followed. 'This nickname... "Little Bird". It wasn't mine. I later learned that he gave it to every girl who came to be vaccinated. "Little Bird" meant nothing. It was a trick. There were thousands of "little birds" like me, all believing they were the only ones.' As a reporter, Jacques Peretti has dedicated his life to investigating significant stories. However, there was one story, which he heard in scattered pieces during his childhood, that he never thought to investigate. The story of how his mother survived Auschwitz. In the last months of World War II, the thirteen-year-old Alina Peretti, along with her mother and sister, was one of thirteen thousand non-Jewish Poles sent to Auschwitz. Her experiences there overshadowed the rest of her life. Now, at ninety, Alina has been diagnosed with dementia. Together, mother and son embark on a race against time to record her memories and preserve their family's story. Along the way, Jacques discovers well-hidden secrets about his mother's family. He gains an understanding of his mother by retracing her past, learning more about the woman who never allowed him to call her "Mom".
