Polanski, who won an Oscar for directing this movie, lived through this period in Poland as a child. He was sheltered by some families after being separated from his parents, and managed to hide his Jewish descent - so he must have identified strongly with his protagonist's experience.

If you haven't read the kommandants' girl, I highly suggest it. Im not a huge novel person but its one of my favorite books.
