- Summary:
- Hanna Kalter was a typical teenager when the Nazis came to power in Germany. But on Kristellnacht, when mobs destroyed the synagogue and Jewish property, and ransacked her home, Hanna's parents shipped her and her sister Ruth off to safety in free Holland on the Kindertransport. Soon, the Nazi's conquered Holland and the Gestapo moved in next door. But Hanna was determined to live her life ? to get an education, learn a skill, make friends, find a boyfriend. She didn?t lose her cool, even when she and her sister were deported to a concentration camp. And, for years, she waited for her parents to send for her, so the family could be reunited in safety.
