Joshua Greene

"I peered out the second-floor window of my grandparents' villa. Through an early morning haze I saw men in German uniforms jumping off trucks. The Germans were carrying rifles and kicking in the doors of houses up and down the main street. Some of the men restrained big barking dogs on leashes. I heard people screaming and watched as men, women, and children scattered in all directions . . ." Fanya and her family run to their secret hiding place. But even if they survive this Nazi search, there will be others. How long can they survive? You will never forget Fanya's incredible story of courage and survival and she recounts the true story of how she survived the Holocaust.
