Hidden Like Anne Frank: 14 True Stories of Survival by Marcel Prins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Many children and families went into hiding during WWII to escape the Nazis. This book tells the story of fourteen of these children from the Netherlands. Some were very young when they were separated from their families. And many were forced to move from place-to-place, often multiple times, to prevent being discovered.

It's difficult for me to imagine how horrific life was for these children and their parents who had to make a life or death decision. Though this book was very sad, it demonstrates the triumph of the human spirit of survival.
