Overview
This book is the autobiography of a young Jewish woman, living peaceably in a small rural community in Germany, who was able to escape the Nazis in May 1939 and reach England. It describes the increasing repression of the Nazi regime through the 1930s and the fate that befell many of her relatives. From England, where she worked as a domestic servant to a kind lady who befriended her, she was able to arrange for her parents to join her just before war was declared in September 1939. It goes on to describe her life during the war, as a nurse, and her subsequent life marrying and raising a family. It also covers her visits back to her village in Germany, with trepidation at first, but with an increasing connection to the present generation of inhabitants, some of them keen to commemorate the contribution made by Jews to the local community over several centuries before the Holocaust.
