This is the early life of Marion Blumenthal Lazan. She was born about 1935 in Germany. Mrs Lazan is an optimist.I went to hear her speak a few years ago.I talked to her personally. Her husband Nathaniel is a saintly man.I could see the love of God in his face. They met after the war in the US. They are Jews. Mrs Lazan talks about World War 2. Her family spent some time in the Bergen Belsen concentration-camp. Marian was fair, blonde and blue eyed. She looked like a German, but due to her Jewish blood she was sent to a concentration camp.Her story is unbelievable and she personally signed my book.

An excellent, moving story about a young girl's experience as a Jew during the Holocaust.

Following Hitler's rise to power,the Blumenthal family--father, mother, Marion, and her brother Albert--were trapped in Nazi Germany. They managed eventually to get to Holland, but soon thereafter it was occupied by the Nazis. For the next six-and-a-half years the Blumenthals were forced to live in refugee, transit, and prison camps. Their story is one of horror and hardship, but it is also a story of courage, hope, and the will to surive.

I am writing this for my daughter, she read the book and really enjoyed it, she liked the character and how strong she was and how she had a desire to live and make it through. Got a real sense of the tragedy of the war and how it affected more than just the Jewish people. She would reccommend this book she says.

This is the third Holocaust book I have read in the last year and is undoubtedly the best. It is a short book, but very well written.
