“Simone tells her story clearly and with the sincere and innocent
conviction of a schoolgirl living during that time…For teenagers today, who want to be accepted by their peers, Simone’s
story is an important lesson for young people who also must face decisions which will affect their entire life.”
Cynthia Yoken, Co-chairman
Holocaust Education Committee of Jewish Federation of Greater New Bedford (MA)
“This is a book to read from cover to cover. It is hard not to be transported
into Simone’s world and impossible not to understand, through her,
something more about the terrible years of the Third Reich.”
Christine
E. King, President
Staffordshire University, United Kingdom
“This book will be an important contribution to the literature on
the Holocaust…useful in understanding that the ‘sea of terror’
extended to other victims besides the Jews.”
William Shulman, President
Association of Holocaust Organizations
“If there had been more people like Simone and her family, more
communities like the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Nazis’ destructive
ways, including the Holocaust, could have been prevented. Their courage
is among the few truly bright moral examples during those dark times.”
John K. Roth, Russell K. Pitzer Professor of Philosophy,
Claremont McKenna College; co-author, Different Voices: Women and the
Holocaust; and Approaches to Auschwitz: The Holocaust and Its Legacy
“…well written…adds to our understanding of the Nazi
persecution of non-Jews. A riveting memoir of a young woman’s defiance
against Nazi persecution.”
Jack Fischel, Professor,
History Department, Millersville University;
co-editor, Holocaust Studies Annual; author, History of the Holocaust
“The compelling account enables the general public to get acquainted
with a less-known phenomenon of Nazi-persecution. Therefore it is to be
applauded that several translations, including a German version, are in
preparation.”
Drs. Richard Singelenberg
Department of Anthropology, Utrecht University
“This
book underscores the price paid for religious intolerance and racial bigotry.
It is also a tribute to six million non-Jewish victims of the Hitler regime.”
