Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC!
A phenomenal and heartbreaking read - this book has left a big impression on me!
Published posthumously, this memoir by Hannah Pick-Goslar tells the story of her childhood in Amsterdam, having fled there following the rise to power of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany.
I think it's difficult to "review" someone's life story, so I won't try - but what I will say is that this book was truly informative and written with immense clarity, whilst retaining an incredibly human touch.
