- Breve biografia
- EMMA MACALIK BUTTERWORTH (1928-2003) was born and educated in Vienna, where she became a student of the corps de ballet of the Vienna State Opera at the age of eight. She remained with the corps de ballet, ultimately as a dancer, until the Opera was destroyed during World War Two.
An American citizen for nearly a half-century, she enjoyed her retirement at her residence overlooking Mobile Bay until she died in her sleep, on her 75th birthday, September 5, 2003, awaiting another sunset.

This memoir is written for a young adult audience. It is very interesting to see how the historic events unfold through the eyes of a child, and how seductive the opportunities promised by the Nazis (summer camps, nice uniforms, trips to Paris) were to the young students they recruited. As the war progresses, Emmy and the citizens of Vienna are subjected to rationing, deprivation and bombings. The book is rated as being for age 12 and older; there are some horrific experiences related here,
