On a cold, dark night in warsaw in 1942, the Balicki children watch in horror as Nazi storm troopers arrest their mother. Now they are alone. With the war raging around them, food and shelter are hard to come by. They live in constant fear.
Finally, they get word that their father is alive. He has made it to Switzerland. Edek and Ruth are determined to find him, though they know how dangerous the long trip from warsaw will be. But they also know that if they don't make it, they may never see their parents again.
Their gripping story is taken from actual accounts.

I like this book. It's sad because the two kids mom was arrested by the Nazis and the dad was at a Nazi camp as a prisoner. The kids never now if they'll be alone for the rest of their life or if they will reunite with there dad and mom. Their dad was treated very harsh in the camp.

ReplyDeleteDo you find the two characters, the kids, are relatable in anyway? If so, how?

ReplyDeleteThis sounds good. Do you know how closely it's based on reality.
