Summary

This is the remarkable true story of a young Jewish girl and her brother growing up during the Second World War, caught in a world turned upside down by the Nazis. Written specially for children, Eva describes her happy early childhood in Vienna with her kind and loving parents and her older brother Heinz, whom she adored. But when the Nazis marched into Austria everything changed. Eva's family fled to Belgium, then to Amsterdam where, with the help of the Dutch Resistance, they spent the next two years in hiding - Eva and her mother in one house, and her father and brother in another. Finally, though, they were all betrayed and deported to Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. Despite the horrors of the camp, Eva's positive attitude and stubborn personality (which had often got her into trouble) saw her through one of the most tragic events in history and she and her mother eventually returned to Amsterdam.

Author Biography

Eva Schloss regularly visits schools, universities, and other institutions to talk about her experiences during the Holocaust. A play, And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank by James Still deals with the lives of Eva and her posthumous step-sister, Anne Frank, and other teenagers in the Holocaust. Eva is a trustee of the Anne Frank Trust in London.
