Irena Veisaitė is held in deep esteem throughout her country. This volume is an attempt to relate the difficult journey of her remarkable life against the backdrop of the complex history of Lithuania and its Litvaks (Lithuanian Jews). After being rescued by Christian Lithuanian families and having survived the Holocaust Irena Veisaitė devoted herself to study and creative work.

Having lived through some of the major atrocities of the twentieth century, her insistence on the need for tolerance has inspired many.

Jakie okropne zdarzenie do tego stopnia rozsierdziło Zdzisława Maklakiewicza, że wytoczył proces barmanowi − i wygrał go? Który niezdany egzamin stanął Krzysztofowi Maternie na przeszkodzie w ukończeniu studiów aktorskich? Jak czuje się w sytuacji gwiazdora ktoś, kto nie za bardzo chce gwiazdorzyć? Czy mamy jeszcze jakieś pytania? "
