This is the memoirs of a young girl in Nazi Germany and the trials she faces. First her mother is taken to a concentration, then her father is taken to a different camp. She is then taken to what is supposed to be a girls' school. She is faced with the choice of giving up her religion or facing the consequences. She faces many horrible results, but still clings to faith. However, she was not Jewish. She was Jehovah's Witness. It's a little known fact that many Jehovah's Witnesses were also imprisoned along with the Jews. A very worthwhile book to read if you want to see what it is like to be willing to face anything for your love of God. Miraculously, she and her parents were eventually reunited after the war and came to the US. She is still alive and much info about her can be found online.
