Holocaust survivor Eva Schloss retells her own story specially for
younger readers. This is the remarkable true story of a young
Jewish girl and her brother caught in a world turned upside down by
the Nazis during the Second World War. Eva Schloss describes her
happy early childhood in Vienna with her kind and loving parents
and her older brother Heinz, whom she adored. But when the Nazis
marched into Austria everything changed. Eva's family fled to
Belgium, then to Amsterdam where, with the help of the Dutch
Resistance, they spent the next two years in hiding - Eva and her
mother in one house, and her father and brother in another. But in
the end they were all betrayed and deported to Auschwitz
concentration camp in Poland. Despite the horrors of the camp,
Eva's positive attitude and stubborn personality (which had often
got her into trouble) saw her through one of the most tragic events
in history but sadly her father and brother perished just weeks
before the liberation. Eva and her mother travelled back to the
house in Amsterdam where Heinz and his father had hidden. There
they found over thirty beautiful paintings by her brother. For Eva,
here was a tangible, everlasting memory of her beloved older
brother, and a reminder of her father's promise that all the good
things you accomplish will make a difference. Heinz's paintings
have been on display in exhibitions in the USA and are now a part
of a permanent exhibition in Amsterdam's war museum. Eva Schloss is
the posthumous step-sister of Anne Frank, after her mother was
remarried to Otto Frank, the only surviving member of his immediate
family.
