Book Synopsis
February 1945. After heavy bombing by Allied air forces, Dresden was on fire and in ruins. Ironically, for the few Dresden Jews who had not yet been deported and murdered by the Nazis, the destruction meant rescue. With the Gestapo order for the family to report for deportation still in hand, Henny Wolf Brenner and her parents ran for their lives.

Trade Review
"A rich and significant account.... The fleshing out of the details of her family's normal bourgeois life, including wash day and monthly theater visits is exemplary. Likewise, Brenner's account of school life is illuminating from a number of perspectives, not the least of which is the initial lesson in racial 'biology' from a Nazi teacher, in which she was identified as a typical 'Aryan German girl.'" - Michael Berkowitz, author of The Crime of My Very Existence: Nazism and the Myth of Jewish Criminality"
