Recenzii
Well-turned book... Cretzmeyer weaves in historical background to situate young readers, and...provides an unusually complete and clear account of a supremely turbulent experience.
Ruth Kapp's story supplies another piece of the history of the Holocaust...A compelling story, recommended for all collections.
This moving biographical memoir details the horrendous life in hiding so many Jews experienced.... Cretzmeyer weaves imaginative narrative segments with more historical passages, bringing both the personal experience of Ruth Kapp and the factual record of the time into unblinking perspective.... A book that blends passion and terror with hope and perseverance in the shadow of this century's most shameful moment.
A compelling and cogent description of one brave individual's personal travail during the Holocaust. The Ruth Hartz story should be appreciated by all Americans who cherish human freedom and individual dignity."-Daniel Patrick Moynihan, U.S. Senator (New York)
A beautifully written book that dramatically captures the family on the run through the eyes of the child and through her voice.
Graphically documents the plight of Jews who were living in unoccupied southern France during WWII... The atrocities and effects of anti-Semitism are seen through the eyes of a four-year old who was then Ruth Kapp... Makes obvious the power of individuals to make a difference despite personal danger.
This remarkable memoir is a testimony to the few righteous Gentiles who risked so much to save the Jews in their midst.
Brings the horror of war to life.
A wrenching yet uplifting book.
The facts of the story are gripping, and the child's ordeal is heart-wrenching... Those who are already interested in Holocaust accounts will find enough here to make this a worthwhile read.
The heartrending story is related in Ruth's voice, only five when the harrowing experiences begin. An important book to share with children and adults.
A powerful story of love and survival... I, personally, became very attached to Ruth's Uncle Heinrich, and kept strong emotions toward the characters throughout the book.... An important contribution to Holocaust Studies.
This much-needed book about France during the Holocaust is a difficult, though very well-written account.... Pictures of the Kapp family, an afterword, and some brief history of the French Resistance enhance the engaging text of the story.... The author's foreword speaks about wanting to write believably from a small girl's point of view. She does it well in this very good addition to Holocaust survival stories.
An exceptionally fine work...
