In the Lion's Mouth tells the dramatic story of Gisi Fleischmann, the middle-aged widow who headed the Jewish relief and rescue efforts in Slovakia during the Holocaust.

Frantic to stop deportations from their country and to save Jews throughout Europe, Gisi and her colleagues daringly explored a controversial question: Was it possible to bargain with the Nazi's for lives?
