Publisher's summary

A most captivating and intriguing true story of a young Jewish girl's life during a World War, and how she survived the Holocaust.

Through the pages of this rediscovered and recently translated diary, we find ourselves in the midst of a wartime drama in Budapest, Hungary, as a teenage girl evades capture, ultimately escapes, and emigrates to America.

A different view of WW2

Most WW2 books focus on the Jews trials and extermination, but this diary of a young Hungarian Jew shows that many Jews survived in relatively normal circumstances despite change of lifestyle. War is never good and is such a shame for everyone involved. She mentions that life for the Jews in Munich, post WW2, was better for the Jews than for others. This diary starts before the war and ends with the young woman traveling to America to start again. While this book reads like a diary and doesn't have any nail biting, high adventure scenes, it is interesting to hear a real-life perspective of how other Jews survived the war. The reader has a lovely voice. She speaks with an American accent. The diary does say that the young girl speaks English perfectly, so I guess it works.
