Příběh odkrývá dávno zapomenutou historii města a poprvé vychází v češtině kniha bohumínské rodačky Mimi Glueckstein, rozené Rubin, která pocházela z židovské rodiny. Během 2. světové války byla spolu s tisícovkou dalších obyvatel Bohumína nacisty odvlečena do koncentračních táborů. Dnes, ve svých 93 letech, žije v Americe. Kniha mapuje přibližně sedm let jejího života, přičemž se zaměřuje na její strastiplnou cestu po táborech a válečné útrapy spojené se ztrátou rodiny. Zároveň obsahuje kapitolu o jejím nádherném dětství v Novém Bohumíně, kde život obyvatel mezi dvěma světovými válkami překvapuje. Publikace je strhující a řadí se k titulům jako Deník Anny Frankové. Odkryje také utajovanou kapitolu města Bohumína a Těšínského Slezska. Mimi Glueckstein, nyní 94letá, je potěšena zájmem o české vydání. Spolu se svým synem Fredem, novinářem v New Yorku, poskytli autorská práva k překladu. Historici Jan František Teister, Eduard Beneš a překladatelka Alena Mrázová doplnili české vydání cennými informacemi a příběhy, což přispělo k vytvoření pozoruhodné publikace se silným poselstvím.
