About this ebook

My name is Hanna. I am 15. I am Latvian. I live with my mother and grandmother. My father is missing, taken by the Russians. I have a boyfriend and I'm training to be a dancer. But none of that is important any more. Because the Nazis have arrived, and I am a Jew. And as far as they are concerned, that is all that matters. This is my story.

"A tragic, harrowing and deeply moving account of the Holocaust from the perspective of an ordinary girl." - The Bookseller
