When we think of hiding, we do not often think about hiding underneath a spotlight, on a stage, or in front of hundreds of people. For Zhanna and Frina, this is exactly what they did. They had an extraordinary gift that saved their lives during the Holocaust. Their musical skills on the piano secured their safety and led them to places they never dreamed of. End materials include factual tidbits about Zhanna and Frina’s lives, a glossary, and additional information for further reading and research. 32 pgs, paperback. ~Rebecca
