Testimonial
Eva connects with children's concerns as she describes growing up as an outsider in pre-war Nazi Germany and her fortunate yet wrenching separation from home and family to escape to England. [. . .] she takes us into the world of her childhood and brings us back to powerful lessons for our current lives.
