Facing the Lion: Memoirs of a Young Girl in Nazi Europe
by Simone Arnold Liebster
Grammaton Press, c2003
Numerous memoirs of the Holocaust have been published with vivid, moving accounts of personal struggles. This one is no exception, but in Liebster's memoir the reader witnesses experiences of the Holocaust through the faith of a Jehovah Witness. The reader becomes aware that the Holocaust didn't affect just one population. This book is informative and compelling in its depiction of a young girl who struggles as a prisoner of war, yet continues to live by her faith.
Call Number: Leisure Reading 3108 (on the New Book Shelf until March 3rd)
