“A tapestry of two generations of a German Jewish family caught in the turbulent shadow of war… The author with her straightforward narrative captures the essence of how hard it is to live in Hitler’s Germany especially for a person who was born a Jew. Spurred on by her compelling narrative, it is truly a soothing balm for one’s soul.” – The Moving Words Review
