OUT OF HIDING by: Ruth Gruener

Ruth Gruener, born Luncia Gamzer, was a hidden child in Lvov, Poland, during the Holocaust—quietly surviving in ghetto shadows and the care of Christian neighbors while the world around her was torn apart. When liberation came, Ruth and her parents emerged free but displaced. They journeyed to Brooklyn, where they had to rebuild their lives from scratch—learning English, attending school, and navigating post-war trauma that followed Ruth like a shadow. This memoir vividly recounts her path from fear and darkness toward connection and healing.
