Inhaltsangabe:

When the Nazis invade Holland in 1942, Anneke's pampered life changes as she and her family are deported to Theresienstadt, a concentration camp in Czechoslovakia which the Nazis are touting as an idyllic place where European Jews are thriving under the Nazi regime. Original.

Von der hinteren Coverseite: I scratch the skin around my shoulder. I know I mustn't, but I can't help it. I am itchy everywhere. I fight the urge to jump out of the bunk. Besides, there is no place to go. We are prisoners here. If only this was the dream and I could wake up and return to my old life.The unthinkable has happened. Anneke and her family have been taken by train from their comfortable home in Holland to Theresienstadt, a "model" concentration camp in Czechoslovakia. But there is nothing model about bed bugs, starvation, disease, lice, hard labor and constant brutality. Despite the hunger, the anxiety and the pain, Anneke learns that she is capable of doing whatever it takes to survive. She also discovers that even the grayest of days can be brightened by a friend's smile or a lover's kiss.
