Title: Katarina is not just a children's book.
Review: My 12 yr old daughter purchased this book through a Scholastic Book Fair. After reading it she insisted I read it and so I did. I was quite taken by the tragedy this young child endured and the sophisticated way in which she handled herself. A jewish child raised as a christian due to the danger she faced during WWII. Her confusion of her own religion and the fact that she actually saw herself as a catholic before turning toward the love of the protestant orphanage in which she was placed only to find their love guiding her to learn more of her jewish background. A very ironic situation. The atrocities of this era are still burnt on our hearts and I see this book as a very important account of a child ripped apart by WWII.
