The Ghetto
Coming soon!
Dedicated to the arts, he never expected to confront Nazis. When everything is stripped from them, will he and his beloved stand and fight?
1939, Warsaw, Poland. Jakub Rosen dreams of uniting Jews and Poles in friendship. Head-over-heels in love with a Christian actress, the Jewish film producer wants to believe they can overcome family opposition, deep-rooted antisemitism, and jealous rivals. But his gentle idealism cracks when he loses her to a forced engagement… and shatters as German forces invade and seal his people behind walls of bricks and barbed wire of the Warsaw Ghetto.
As starvation takes hold and the deportations commence, Jakub's heart receives another blow when the woman he adores joins the resistance and is hunted by a black marketeer. And though he yearns for creative expression, the introspective young man takes a stand against the erasure of his entire world by learning the art of combat.
Can Jakub inspire Jews and Poles to unite against hate and tyranny?
Exploring a difficult subject with soul-wrenching rawness, Adam C. Frosh offers a deeply nuanced picture of human defiance and tenderness in the midst of unspeakable horror.

The Ghetto is an enthralling historical fiction novel. If you like morally complex characters, quiet acts of courage, and forbidden love amid harsh reality, then you’ll adore Adam C. Frosh’s heartbreaking story.
Wojtek; Dancer on the Edge of War
He was a bear who fought as a soldier.
He carried shells through enemy fire.
He drank beer with the men.
Dancer on the Edge of War tells the story of Jan Podolski, a Polish soldier who survived the gulags and the brutal fighting in Italy, and Wojtek, the real Syrian brown bear who became his brother in arms.
From the frozen gulags of Siberia to the blood-soaked hills of Italy and finally to a lonely enclosure in Edinburgh Zoo, this is a tale of friendship forged in hell, of wounds that never heal, and of two souls — one human, one bear — trapped long after the guns fell silent.
Unflinching and quietly devastating, Adam C. Frosh’s novella refuses easy comfort. It asks one brutal question: what remains of a man when even the last innocent thing in his life is taken away?
