Marion A. Stahl writes with rare vision and inspiration, bringing readers the story of the Holocaust through the lens of family. We meet Anita as a young child, amidst her idyllic life of home, family, and community. But as Hitler’s influence grows, the very fabric of their lives begins to unravel as one by one, the family is pulled apart. Anita finds the courage to navigate her changing world and is determined to find her family, to reunite the pieces she has lost.Marion manages to write with such a fresh and authentic voice, that I felt completely transported, as if I were viewing the Holocaust’s infamous events for the first time. Anita, now as an adult speaking to the next generation, says she wants to share her story so that people will stand up and speak out against oppression and bullying of all kinds. Marion has captured that spirit through this book. It’s an intimate and vital call to remember the past and carry its lessons into our future.
