Eva Schloss

Evelyn Julia Kent

In March 1938 the Germans invaded Austria and young Eva Geiringer and her family became refugees. Like many Jews they fled to Amsterdam where they hid from the Nazis until they were betrayed and arrested in May 1944. Eva was fifteen years old when she was sent to Auschwitz -- the same age as her friend Anne Frank. Together with her mother she endured the daily degradation that robbed so many of their lives -- including her father and brother. After the war her mother married Otto Frank, the only surviving member of the Frank family. Only after forty years was Eva able to tell her story

A Survivor's Tale by the Step-sister of Anne Frank

Eva's Story

Gina Schwarzmann

Many stories of courage have been told about the sacrifices made by individuals and families during World War 2 -- this is one to stir the emotions of all who read it.

The Disappearance of Goldie Rapaport

Written especially for pupils of 9 and over and anyone interested in the true stories of World War II. The perfect companion to The Disappearance of Goldie Rapaport. Mina's Mountain tells the true story of spirit, faith, and love that carry Hermione Bohm through the dark days of World War Two. In her early years, despite hardship and poverty, her family pulled together. The stark everyday struggle to survive is offset by a strong religious background. During the war, when it is her turn to look after five children of the List family, she takes them to mountains out of harm's way. Against all the odds of wartime, she falls in love and marries. This is a heart-warming story of a girl growing to maturity, when she learns that love never dies.

Mina's Mountain

Many know the tragic story of Anne Frank, the teen whose life ended at Auschwitz during the Holocaust. But most people don’t know about Eva Schloss, Anne’s playmate and stepsister. Though Eva, like Anne, was taken to Auschwitz at the age of 15, her story did not end there. / This incredible memoir recounts — without bitterness or hatred —the horrors of war, the love between mother and daughter, and the strength and determination that helped a family overcome danger and tragedy.
