It was not a hide & seek game, but a damn good hiding. Whereas other children crawl adventurously for a few minutes while playing, Marisha must spend a year and a half. In a dark barrel! Marisha is Jewish and must not be found.
This book tells the true story of young Marisha, who must be very brave, without a father and a mother. How do you manage that? Who has helped her?
In a child-friendly language Gabriele Hannemann tells about the escape from the ghetto, from hunger, from the fear of death, and about the survival of Marishas till her arrival on the exodus ship to the Land of Israel.
With this authentic story Gabriele Hannemann allows children a child-friendly, emotionally appealing and sensible first encounter with the Holocaust.
