They struggle through many hardships, such as their mother's ilness and death.

:"This book is about my life, or rather part of my life, the part that took place in Holland during the Second World War. In this book I have gone to those years, when I was a child, and Jewish, and therefore undesirable, when I had to hide from Germans." - written by the author
