  • Heart Stirring

    The first time I can recall anything about nazis or Germany, I was in the fourth grade and my teacher had read Escape From Warsaw to our class. This book reminds me that the majority of humanity have not faxed the opposition that other individuals, including young children, have had to face. This is one individuals true account of their opposition and their endurance.

  • A remarkable book by a woman of integrity.

    I think everyone should read this book, so we never forget what happened to innocent people during the Nazi regime. Simone tells her story so beautifully to let us know what life was like during that horrible time in history. We never want to forget this!

    It was a very eye opening life story of a little girl who suffered through great atrocities and came out victorious because of her love of God.

  • Now I know why it is called "facing the Lion" She was indeed in the Lions den! Daniel 6:12-26

    I am amaze at the strength of Simone, being only 10yrs old she is an amazing example of strength, courage and endurance. I can only wish I have these qualities. Her parents taught her well.

  • Once you start it, you won't let it go.

    Small but big representation of what the children of Jehovah's Witnesses went through in order to demonstrate loyalty to the true God, Jehovah. LOVE IT!
