Children Trying to Survive the War

The children of World War II grew up too fast. They learned to lie about their names, hide in attics and barns, and understand that silence could mean the difference between life and death.

These are stories of children who lost their childhoods but never lost their hope. Who were separated from their parents but held onto memories like treasures. Who faced unimaginable horrors but still found reasons to smile.

If you want to understand the true cost of war through the eyes of those who should have been playing, not fighting to survive, these books will break your heart and mend it all at once.
