Review

This compilation of fourteen first person accounts of children hiding from the Nazis in the Netherlands is riveting. It is historically informative and personally inspiring. The courage and determination of the survivors, their families, and network of those hiding the children is evident in each experience. Each experience is very different. The photographs and maps draw the reader into every chapter. At the end of the book are black and white close-up photographs of those who shared these stories. This adds on even more personal feel to the book. A glossary is also included. I highly recommend this book for Holocaust study and anyone interested in true survival stories.

Overall Book Score: excellent
