Darkness Hides the Flowers: A True Story of Holocaust Survival (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425743215)

Darkness Hides the Flowers is the true-life adventure story of a Jewish teenage girl running from the Gestapo. An artistic girl, who dreams of being a pianist, young Ida is abruptly thrown into the wilderness of rural France and must survive alone. Ida's narrative is illustrated with her original paintings and the poems that she wrote to endure an ordeal of loneliness, fear, abuse and starvation. Her paintings of the experience are captured in this beautiful, full-color, glossy coffee table book. Readers of all ages will be gripped by this suspenseful tale, wandering beside Ida, and wondering, with each new encounter, which stranger might be trusted and which might betray her to the Nazis.
