Release Date - May 4, 2021 Eighteen-year-old Sadie Gault lives with her parents in the Krakow Ghetto during WWII. When the ghetto is raided and all Jews are removed, Sadie, her pregnant mom, and her dad escape with the help of a local worker. They're forced to live underground in the sewers where they rely on food deliveries from the guy that helped them. It's there that Sadie "meets" a Polish girl who lives in a wealthier part of town.

In a dangerous time and in extraordinarily grim situations, the friendship that forms between Sadie and Ella is undeniable but puts them both in extreme danger. The Woman With the Blue Star is fictional but based on some true accounts. It's hard not to feel so many
