Girl In Hiding: Remembrances of a Holocaust Survivor

Girl In Hiding: Remembrances of a Holocaust Survivor

â€œWhile I was up in the attic one morning, I suddenly heard unusual noises from down below. I was locked in the attic and only the older daughter, Len, was at home. I heard her say that she did not have a key to the attic door since her mother always carried the key, and I knew trouble had come. I moved over into a large box that was pushed under the eaves that was our agreed-upon hiding spot. I closed the top as best I could and soon heard the sounds of the attic door being broken down. In came a man to search the attic. More than once I saw the shadow of the searcher over me.â€

In this remarkable memoir, Ellen-Ruth Karpowitz Song recounts with astonishing clarity and a touch of humor her harrowing experiences as a child hiding from The Nazis in German-occupied Holland during World War II.

Shuffled from family to family over an event-filled three-year period, Ellen-Ruth recalls how her saviors repeatedly risked their own lives to shield hers from the atrocities of the time.

Ellen-Ruthâ€™s grown children also provide their thoughts on their motherâ€™s early history, and share insights into how this knowledge has affected their own lives. An extensive Appendix includes documentation of the ordeal and a photo gallery of lives lost and those left to carry on.

Featured in Steven Spielbergâ€™s SHOAH project, Ellen-Ruthâ€™s amazing story is a memorable testimony of the strength of the human spirit.
