My Name Was Fientje by Faye Adams

This autobiographical narration about  a Jewish girl's life during World War II shows how courage and hope can change lives. Faye Adam was ten when she packed up a brown paper bag with a hunk of bread, some fruit, and a water jar, grabbed her favorite doll, hugged her pregnant mother, and walked out the door into the unknown. Sneak past German soldiers with her. Ride into the Dutch countryside and meet the farm family who gave her refuge from Hitler's madness. Pedal along as she returns to Amsterdam on a bike without tires. Grieve with her as she searches for relatives who never return, and rejoice when she is reunited with her baby sister.

This autobiographical account of a Jewish girl's life during World War II shows how courage and hope can change lives. More importantly, it proves that when good people take a stand against evil, they can and do make a difference.
