Hidden Like Anne Frank: 14 True Stories of Survival
Hidden Like Anne Frank: 14 True Stories of Survival is a collection of 1st person accounts about Jews hiding and surviving in Norway during WWII. Marcel Prins' mother went into hiding to escape the Nazis in 1942 when she was only six, and because of her experience, Prins was inspired to collect the stories of other children and young people who were forced to hide to survive during the war. He and Peter Henk Steenhuis wrote those stories into this book, and the first story in this book is his mother's. Each story is unique and captures the fear, bravery, hardship, and hope of those who spent WWII hiding in walls and under floorboards, traveling from place to place, hoping the day would never come when the German's would find them. The book is illustrated with authentic black and white photographs, and the back includes photographs of those people today. 240 pgs, pb. ~Rachel E.
Fourteen unforgettable true stories of children hidden away during World War II.
Jaap Sitters was only eight years old when his mother cut the yellow stars off his clothes and sent him, alone, on a fifteen-mile walk to hide with relatives. It was a terrifying night, one he would never forget. Before the end of the war, Jaap would hide in secret rooms and behind walls. He would suffer from hunger, sickness, and the looming threat of Nazi raids. But he would live.
This is just one of the incredible stories told in Hidden like Anne Frank, a collection of eye-opening first-person accounts that share what it was like to go into hiding during World War II. Some children were only three or four years old when they were hidden; some were teenagers. Some hid with neighbors or family, while many were with complete strangers. But all know the pain of losing their homes, their families, even their own names. They describe the secret network of brave people who kept them safe. And they share the coincidences and close escapes that made all the difference.
