A gripping tale of one young girl's struggle to survive during the Holocaust. When her mother is killed by the Gestapo, a Jewish girl named Lola is sent into hiding. At first, Lola secretly lives in the home of a Ukrainian woman. But when someone threatens to expose her to the Nazis, Lola must flee again, this time hiding with another family in a dirt hole beneath a barn. Struggling against cold and hunger, the hidden family lives under the constant threat of discovery. Lola has lost everything--her home and her family. All she has left is one article of clothing, a dress lovingly embroidered by her mother. Will Lola ever find safety--or freedom? Lois Metzger has edited five collections of short stories for Scholastic-Bones, Bites, The Year We Missed My Birthday, Can You Keep a Secret?, and Be Careful What You Wish For. She lives in New York with her husband and son. Lola Rein Kaufman is a Holocaust survivor and author of "The Hidden Girl: A True Story of the Holocaust."
