review 1: A true love story rediscovered. I’ve read many books about the Holocaust, this was told from a different viewpoint. Trudi is honest and open, giving the reader a good understanding of the horror of Nazi occupied Europe."This one memoir is a generous- spirited book. Its many delightful moments, as well as its almost matter-of-fact description of menace and impending danger, stay long in the mind."– Wall Street JournalFavorite quote: “This is a war of the unknown warriors,” Churchill told the world in the summer of 1940. “The whole of the warring nations are engaged, not only soldiers, but the entire population, men, women, and children. The fronts are everywhere. Trenches are dug in towns and streets. Every village is fortified. Every road is barred. The f... moreront line runs through the factories. Workmen are soldiers with different weapons but the same courage.”
review 2: A really inspiring story of strength, perseverance and endurance in the face of horrible uncertainty and persecution. I cannot even imagine what it would be like to have everything taken from you, to leave your home, your parents, to have to flee in fear. No one knows what the future holds (not even Mystic Meg), but we can be fairly sure that when we wake up we will get to be free, to enjoy our homes and be able to walk the streets if we wish. To not have that, and to survive and continue, is a tremendous feat. These books, these stories, are so important to us now, so that we can remind ourselves what can happen - surprisingly easily - and what humanity is capable of.Keep calm and wear hats. less

It's a memoir, written in the first person. Sometimes the writing style is hard to follow.

I made myself finish this book thinking it would become more intriguing, but, it didn't.
