Alias Anna: A True Story of Outwitting the Nazis by Susan Hood and Greg Dawson
As the Nazis were coming through Ukraine, the Jewish families were in danger. In the case of two girls, their family had sacrificed themselves so that they could live. The girls assumed new identities as orphans so they could get papers that would not identify them as Jewish. They fled from their town and were close to safety. However, the Nazis heard their talent playing instruments. They ended up performing for officers and were afraid of being identified. Luckily they survived the ordeal and ended up moving to the United States after the war. They kept their story to themselves until one grandchild asked them for their story. That ended up resulting in this book. This is concise personal account of the holocaust in Ukraine.
