Title: Flory: Survival in the Valley of Death: Purchased at Amazon.com
Product review: I read this book twice because I wasn't sure how I felt about it. Ultimately, after my second reading I decided I really liked it. This is the story of a young Dutch girl named Flory and how she survived the Holocaust in the Netherlands. There were some very different twists and turns in her story, the main one being that she was approached on the street wearing the Star of David as Jews were ordered. A Dutch man in the Resistance asked what that was on her blouse, (the star), told her to take it off and follow him home. Flory described her situation and he offered to hide her in his house with his family. A most unusual happening since many Jews wanted to hide, but were unable to find somebody willing to risk hiding Jews. A very touching book, although it took me a while to get into it. Well worth buying, and a good read.
