Behind the Secret Window: A Memoir of a Hidden Childhood During World War Two Paperback - 2003
by Nelly S. Toll
The Nazis come to Poland when Nelly is six. By the time she turns eight, the events of World War II have taken almost everyone she loves. Scared, lonely, and running from the Nazis, Nelly hides in the bedroom of a Gentile couple in Poland. For over a year, she lives in fear of discovery, writing in her diary and painting pictures of a fantasy world filled with open skies and happy families. Illustrated with Nelly's original watercolors, this powerful memoir tells the true story of how a little girl's imagination helped her survive a nightmare.
Summary
First line
I WILL NEVER FORGET watching from a balcony on a warm, sunny day in June 1941 as the German army marched through the streets of Lwow.
