"Here is the full, documents autobiography of the woman whom half the world believes to be Anastasia, youngest daughter of Nicholas II, the late Czar of Russia, the girl who survived the shootings in the cellar at Ekaterinburg and is living today in the Black Forest. A peasant soldier called in to help clear the cellar found that one of the young women was still breathing, and spirited her away. Shortly a peasant cart, with a badly wounded girl hidden in its straw, set out on a lumbering nightmarish journey that ended months later on the Romanian border."
