Yet another horrible account by survivors of the Holocaust and life in Germany for the Jews from 1933 onwards. This is a YA book, so not overly heavy in endless pages of horror stories, but quite enough to give you nightmares for the rest of your life.

How any person could survive even 1 day in that filth, lack of food, brutality, beatings, not knowing your fate and the fate of the rest of your friends and family, is beyond my comprehension.

This book is chapter by chapter told by an individual survivor and their story in about 5 pages.

A number of pictures included throughout book. ( )

"This compelling book ... paints a powerful portrait of the terrifying outbreak of violence that helped pave the way for the subsequent mass murder of European Jews. Well suited to a younger readership, Deem provides the necesary background information while concentrating on the moving human stories of the survivors." --- Dr. Devin Pendas, Associate Professor of History, Boston College
