Lazan's unforgettable memoir recalls the devastaing years that shaped her childhood. Following Hitler's rise to power, the Blumenthal family were caught in the nightmare that was Nazi Germany. For the next several years they were forced to live in refugee, transit and prison camps--including the notorious Bergen-Belsen in Germany. Somehow they managed to stay together and, although their story is one of horror and hardship, it is also one of courage, hope and the will to survive. Photos.

From the rear cover

"By the time WWII ended in Europe, the Blumenthal family--Marion, her brother Albert, and their parents--had lived in a succession of refugee, transit, and prison camps for more than six years, not only surviving but staying together....This gripping memoir is written in spare, powerful prose that vividly depicts the endless degradation and humiliation suffered by the Holocaust's innocent victims, as well as the unending horror of life in the camps. It's also an ennobling account of the triumph of the human spirit, as seen through a child's eyes."--Kirkus Reviews
