Product Description
Seven-year-old Anneliese sees a synagogue burn in Frankfurt. Neighbors disappear. German soldiers parade, the war starts, bombs fall. Fear is constant. Evacuation camps. Indentured servitude. A young child grows up fast in a country under war. Loving grandparents support her. She survives while many others do not. The bombing stops, artillery starts. American tanks. Fear is replaced by hunger. She returns to Frankfurt. School starts. With her new skills—typing, shorthand, and English—she helps support the family and seeks a better future for herself!
