This is Ms. Darvas' account of her family's terrifying ordeal at the hands of the Nazis, and of her escape from them. Fascinating account of how she escaped from Prague and eventually made her way to England, and then made a harrowing journey back to Prague. This is a great first-person account of how war can truly affect a person: Through Ms. Darvas' excellent storytelling, you get a feel for her despair and anger.

I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in World War II autobiographies.

Really enjoyed the book. Fascinating yet difficult description of the WWII time period and the effect of being displaced on her life. Couldn't put it down!
