The following are true stories from children growing up in a strange and bizarre world under the notorious Nazi Regime during WWII, authentically telling them in their own words and as seen through the 'eyes of a child.' They constantly feared and wondered about some horrible things they had seen and heard--people being forcefully dragged out of their homes, dreadful screams from someone being beaten to death, lifeless bodies hanging from trees, friends and people they knew disappearing overnight--and were desperate to find out the truth in their own courageous ways as their many curious questions were harshly brushed away with the words 'Hush, hush! You have not seen anything, and you do not tell anyone!' Bravely, they endured earth-shattering air raids in dark freezing-cold bunkers and shared the exhilarating joy expressed by every surviving soul. Amazingly, in the middle of chaos, they played happily in the rubble of war. Read about the children’s own ingenious humanitarian aid campaigns they created and how their accomplishments were able to bring much-needed relief to many elderly and sick citizens of their small town. Lastly, learn about the children’s curious and heart-warming relationships they formed with the soldiers of the Ninetieth Infantry Division of the United States Army in Germany in April 1945. This book is written for the children of 'today and tomorrow' to remember the children of 'yesterday.'Monika Danhof
