Report itemA Dutch Jewish girl
describes the two-and-one-half years she spent in hiding in the
upstairs bedroom of a farmer's house during World War II. Based on the author's experiences, this book describes the life of Annie de Leeuw during World War II, when she and one of her three sisters hid from the Nazis in the attic of a gentile peasant family for more than two years. A 1973 Newbery Honor Book. When the German army occupied Holland, Annie de Leeuw was eight years old. Because she was Jewish, the occupation put her in grave danger-she knew that to stay alive she would have to hide. Fortunately, a Gentile family, the Oostervelds, offered to help. For two years they hid Annie and her sister, Sini, in the cramped upstairs room of their farmhouse. Most people thought the war wouldn't last long. But for Annie and Sini -- separated from their family and confined to one tiny room -- the war seemed to go on forever. |
