In 1939, Hitler marches into Poland and forces all males over the age of fourteen to do "meaningful work" for the Third Reich. So when teenaged Staszek Olbert, working at forced labor for the Germans, is approached by a Polish underground army recruiter, he jumps at the chance to join the resistance and fight for the liberation of his country.

Because he speaks German, Staszek gets a post with the Nazis tracking food supplies sent from a collective farm in Poland to the Third Reich, and he passes on the location of the boxcars transporting the food to the Polish underground.

As the war continues, his assignments become increasingly dangerous, until finally he becomes a soldier fighting on the front lines during the monumental Warsaw Uprising. At first, the Poles are hopeful; but in the end, their beloved city is razed to the ground by the German forces. Staszek is one of the 20,000 who survive, to be held prisoner by the Germans until liberation by Patton's army in April 1945.

Written by Staszek's wife, The Boy from Lwów is an inspiring reminder of how much the human spirit can endure amid the darkest of times.

Over the course of a sixty-year marriage, Norma Olbert has culled the reminiscences of her husband's life and has woven them into a compelling story. She has previously written short stories and newspaper articles, but this is her first full-length book.

Wanting to involve her children in the project, she asked her artist daughter to design the book's cover and her writer son to write the foreword.
