Dobryd par Ann Charney
Yet another tale of survival in horrible conditions during WWII and how lives were rebuilt afterwards. Excellent memoir!
At the age of 5, Ann had spent most of her time living in a barn loft as her family hid from the Nazi's. The book begins as they are liberated and try and find their way back into the real world. Although this was an interesting perspective, the book moved incredibly slow at times. It focused on such a small period of time, that it seemed to drag a bit. The book also needed an epilogue. Overall, a decent book, but not something I would re-read.
