This book is a short glimpse into the life of a twelve year old girl during the holocaust. I read this as part of the series. It was absolutely amazing, factual, and allowed me a view into the war that I hadn't seen. Especially for children during that time. Included in this book is the poems janina wrote in various places during her time in hiding or captivity. It's a must-read.

Short but straightforward

Not a pulitzer prize winning piece of prose but more importantly--,a story that needed to be told without florid writing that would have obscured or even mitigated the impact of the evil as it unfolded. The basic facts of atrocity and experience allow the reader to feel the emotions rather than read someone else's interpretation.
