Maria was eight months old in 1942 when a childless couple found her wrapped in a blanket at the side of the road near Krosno, Poland, with a note showing only her first name and birth date. Raised by the couple, she grew up longing for her identity and family. Years later, her story reached Stanley Diamond, founder of Jewish Records Indexing-Poland, one of the largest databases of Jewish vital records. In this engrossing account, Amy Fish shows how Diamond and a team of international volunteers used photographs, genealogical records, and smuggled DNA tests to reconnect Maria with family she thought was lost forever. Full of coincidences, astonishing discoveries, and perseverance, "One in Six Million" is a remarkable story of lost and found identity.
