The author writes: "I am the child of a woman who survived the
Holocaust not by the skin of her teeth but heroically . . . This
book tells the story of her dramatic life before, during and after
the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands in 1940." Hilde Jacobsthal was
born in Berlin and arrived in the Netherlands as a young child. She
was fifteen when the Nazis invaded, and when Jewish students were
forbidden to attend Dutch schools, she trained and worked as a day
care nurse. Thus began her long association with the Underground,
helping to save Jewish children when they came to the deportation
point. She fled to Belgium after the deportation of her parents in
1943, and spent a year in hiding under a false identity, while
continuing her work in the Resistance. After she was liberated by
the American army in 1944, she joined the British Red Cross and
found herself at Bergen-Belsen a week after British forces arrived
in April 1945. She had hoped to find her parents there, but
learned, eventually, that they had perished at Auschwitz. She was
one of the first people to tell Otto Frank that Anne and Margot
Frank had died at Bergen-Belsen; much later, Otto asked her opinion
about publishing Anne's diary. In Bergen-Belsen she met her future
husband, Max Goldberg, a camp doctor, and together they went as a
medical team to take part in Israel's War of Independence where he
was badly wounded.
