Book Description
Just before Christmas, in Ireland in the late 1980s. Violence, religious terror, hostility and exclusion determine everyday life in a district near Belfast. "Sandy is what keeps me alive," Laurina says to her mother one day. It's the day the eleven-year-old girl begins to struggle against an unimaginably dreary life. At the new school everyone is against Laurina and her sister Sandy because they are not honest Catholics like the other kids say. While the mother tries to get through every day with whatever jobs to feed her children, they are also despised for their apparent poverty. When they are then separated from their mother, their world collapses. Only one classmate is gradually bringing Laurina's trust and hope back - but this boy of all people is hiding a big, serious secret... A social drama set in Ireland in the late 1980s, it tells the story of a girl who would go through hell for her little sister.

Book Description
Children in the Holocaust and World War II is an extraordinary, unprecedented anthology of diaries written by children all across Nazi-occupied Europe and in England. Twenty-three young people, ages ten through eighteen, recount in vivid detail the horrors they lived through. As powerful as The Diary of Anne Frank and Zlata's Diary, children's experiences are written with an unguarded eloquence that belies their years. Some of the diarists include: a Hungarian girl, selected by Mengele to be put in a line of prisoners who were tortured and murdered; a Danish Christian boy executed by the Nazis for his partisan work; and a twelve-year-old Dutch boy who lived through the Blitzkrieg in Rotterdam. And many others. These heartbreaking stories paint a harrowing picture of a genocide that will never be forgotten, and a war that shaped many generations to follow. All of their voices and visions ennoble us all.
