This story of Ruth Uzrad, a Jewish teenager whose life was forever changed by Nazi regime. Her Father is arrested and her mother sends her (and sisters) to live in Belgium. Chronically telling of her tumultuous times was at times heart breaking.

I received a free copy of this book via Hidden Gems and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A well written memoir. The interruptions and time jumps were jarring however they are typical of the genre, memoir. They were well marked and were clear about when the jump went to and where it returned to. This is well written and lets readers see what this woman went through and how she overcame the obstacles presented to her.

I highly recommend this book as it shows what Jewish people who didn’t go to concentration camps had to endure.… (altro)
