Never Tell Your Name by Josie Levy Martin - Current Issues, 205 pp.
$13.95
The true story of a child who must hide in an austere French convent-school during World War II when her German Jewish parents can no longer keep her. Only the brave Mother Superior, a French Resistance fighter, knows the child is Jewish. She does not know that one of her staff collaborates secretly with the Nazis. This is an unforgettable portrait of what happens to children when their lives are uprooted and transplanted into alien soil. From the perspective of an unusually perceptive child, this unique story is haunting and lyrical. The thoughtful epilogue reflects on how these memories shaped the authors life.
