“Carol Lipszyc’s stories are both moving and historically accurate. Her documentary style provides a sense of what life was like for young persons not only during the catastrophe, but in the months before and after. Readers should not expect stereotypical Shoah-tales. Complexities abound. I was particularly struck by the final tale, “A Jewish Interrogation,” in which a young survivor who has passed herself off as a Pole, is interrogated after the war by fellow Jews and made to prove her Jewishness. This is indicative of the uncanny way in which several of Lipszyc’s stories explore Jewish identity.”–Kenneth Sherman, author of What the Furies Bring, winner of the Canadian Jewish Book Award. “Carol Lipszyc’s book takes us into the world of Jewish child victims of the Holocaust before they became survivors. Her sensitive literary style then makes us companions to the experiences of those Jewish children in the Holocaust. Lipszyc’s literary genre is a valuable addition to child survivor testimonies and autobiographies.”–Paul Valent, child survivor of the Holocaust, traumatologist, writer, author of Child Survivors of the Holocaust
