Le froid, la maladie, les poux, les repas constitués de soupe claire et de pain à la sciure de bois, les humiliations, les bombardements qui font trembler la campagne environnante, le mépris des prisonniers polonais qui considèrent les Russes comme des "sous-hommes" et tous les mauvais traitements qui constituent son lot quotidien n'arrivent pas à bout de son courage et de sa détermination. Pas même lorsque ses doigts de fée lui valent d'être transférée de la buanderie à une usine de fabrication de bombes, que la moindre étincelle peut faire partir en fumée..."
