Product Description
"By the time WWII ended in Europe, the Blumenthal family--Marion, her brother Albert, and their parents--had lived in a succession of refugee, transit, and prison camps for more than six years, not only surviving but staying together....This gripping memoir is written in spare, powerful prose that vividly depicts the endless degradation and humiliation suffered by the Holocaust's innocent victims, as well as the unending horror of life in the camps. It's also an ennobling account of the triumph of the human spirit, as seen through a child's eyes."--Kirkus Reviews

Brenda (USA: IL) (2007/03/22):
Excellent book. It is geared toward teens, but I found it fascinating.The Blumenthal families Holocaust saga from 1938 until their escape to the United States. Many interesting pictures included, some that the family managed to save in their many moves. The author is the youngest child in the family. A very good read!!!
