_Yellow Star_
by Jennifer Roy
narrated by Tavia Gilbert
Sivvia was only four when the Nazis invaded Poland. All were upset
when they were forced into the Lodz ghetto, and during the years of the
Nazi occupation the 270,000 Jews living there had been reduced to about
800, only twelve of them children. Sivvia wasn't the youngest when
they came out, but was one of those twelve surviving children. This
story is the tale of the author's aunt, told much as Aunt Sylvia
remembered it as she told it at the end of her years to her niece.
The narration is perfectly done, capturing the wonder and confusion of
the child's experience of trying to survive in a nearly impossible
situation. Definitely a book I recommend. Got it from Audible and
read it as I drove back and forth to work.
