Remembrance and respect for the past are key issues

See website:  www.thegraylinghiddentruthpoems.com for a selection of six books on the story of a young family that survived the Nazi scourge when the Nazis took over Slovakia.  All living conditions changed drastically and immediately.  There was no freedom and it became a game of chance to survive but it was necessary to try to survive.  Those who strove to survive gave themselves a chance to survive and many of them did survive but they had harrowing stories to tell.  Cheryl Freier, author/illustrator
