With these features, and a set of false papers, she slips out of the ghetto, passing as the wife of a Polish officer, until one day an informer spots her on the street and drags her off to the Gestapo. At times a dark lament, at others a sly and sardonic thriller, \u003ci\u003eThe Beautiful Mrs. Seidenman\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of the thirty-six hours that follow Irma's arrest and the events that lead to her dramatic rescue as the last of Warsaw's Jews are about to meet their deaths in the burning ghetto.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eANDRZEJ SZCZYPIORSKI\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1928 in Warsaw, where he died in 2000.
