Blood Sacrifice
What you need to know before your trail
Warsaw is a city of the dead. In the ghetto, the last fifty thousand Jews await their fate but, unlike those who preceded them to the death camps, they are prepared to fight to the end. Jan Kalisz, Kripo investigator and Resistance double-agent, has promised to supply them with weapons. But how will he fulfil his vow?
The murder of a German officer appears to provide an opportunity. For the victim is a man with multiple identities, one of which is a wealthy Jew… The hunt for the murderer draws Kalisz into the chaos of the ghetto, only to find a new, perilous mission awaiting him. SS death squads are not the only enemy the Jews fear. A mysterious figure – known only as the Golem – stalks the ruined streets, spiriting away orphaned children. Can Kalisz track him down before he strikes again?
Travel Guide
The Warsaw Ghetto
The Warsaw Ghetto was the largest of the Nazi ghettos during World War II and the Holocaust. It was established in November 1940 by the German authorities within the new General Government territory of occupied Poland. At its height, as many as 460,000 Jews were imprisoned there, in an area of 1.3 sq miles. Jews were deported from the Warsaw Ghetto to Nazi concentration camps and mass-killing centres such as the Treblinka Camp.
