Kanner, Mia Amalia and Kugler, Eve Rosenzweig: Shattered Crystals.v1. 15 Sept 2009
In Shattered Crystals, Mia Amalia Kanner recounts the true story of her desperate struggle to save her family from annihilation in Nazi Germany and war-torn France. Yet this is much more than a Holocaust history. It is about a courageous Jewish woman who, on finding herself destitute, becomes a cook in a home for war-displaced Jewish children. She faces an agonizing choice. Is giving up her three young daughters necessary to save their lives? Mia's odyssey is also a love story of a remarkable woman who secures her husband's release from Buchenwald concentration camp. Then, during the darkest days of the war, he is arrested in France. Now she must find a way to save him from deportation to the death camps. Before Hitler, they had been an ordinary family. As Mia and her husband face ever increasing danger and persecution, readers find themselves asking, “What would I have done?”

The website from which you downloaded the book has the following notice:
"This entire web site is (c) copyright 1999-2008, Eve Rosenzweig Kugler. All rights reserved." So I'm afraid that I'm going to have to remove the attachment until it is clear that you have permission to reproduce the work. |

I read the PDF at the website. It is a gripping story, and the epilogue, where the author's daughter describes her own wartime experiences, is also very interesting.
