Description
Anita Lobel was barely five years old when World War II began and the Nazis burst into her home in Krakow, Poland, changing her life forever. She spent the days of her childood in hiding with her brother and their nanny in the countryside, in the ghetto, then finally in a convent when the Nazis caught up with her and she was imprisoned in a succession of concentration camps until the end of the war. Sent by the Red Cross to recuperate in Sweden, Anita slowly blossomed as she discovered books and language and art.
